This is one of our family's favorite recipes. My mom has been making this for years and it just isn't Christmas without it!

Lisa D (New York) says:

Love this dessert, but as I remember it, the original recipe called for (patience) pouring half of the jello over the crust, chilling til firm, then mixing the cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip and spreading it over the jello (smooth it out to make it flat) then pouring the remaining jello over that and refrigerating again until firm. You leave the 2nd half of the jello sitting out on your counter so it won't set.

This is a perfect recipe. I add chopped pecans in the crust just for crunch and texture but it IS perfect without. Crowds love love it! Great for games, reunions, church, or take to a family in need!

I've made this recipe for years, and have always used frozen strawberries in sugar syrup. All the recipes I've scanned say "packages of frozen strawberries," but no mention if "whole" or "sugared." There are both out there, and there is a difference because of the added liquid in the sugared berries. Which one is the correct one to use?

Christine, I just read unsweetened strawberries on another similar recipe. Hope to make it soon. Thanx for all your hints ladies.

I found a recipe for pretzel salad on cooks.com used brown sugar (1/4/ c.) in the pretzel crust. I opted for raw sugar instead. Going to try it today
