PRETZEL DESSERT (MICROWAVE
RECIPE)
 
1 1/2 c. crushed pretzels
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter
1 (9 oz.) pkg. Cool Whip
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 (3 oz.) pkgs. strawberry Jello
1 (16 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries, undrained
1 c. crushed pineapple, drained

Melt butter at 100% power for 30 to 45 seconds and combine with sugar and pretzels. Spread in a 9"x13" microwaveable dish and microwave uncovered at 70 to 80 per cent power for 2 to 4 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Mix cream cheese, Cool Whip and powdered sugar. Spread this over the cooled crust. Place in refrigerator to partially set. In an 8 cup container heat 2 cups water and add Jello. Heat an additional 1 to 2 minutes at 100% power to dissolve gelatin. Add strawberries and pineapple. Pour on top of other 2 layers and refrigerate until set.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
