Christmas Jello Salad

I was asked to make a jell-o salad for a funeral today and immediately thought of this yummy dish. Andrea made this for Christmas dinner and I loved it!



Bottom Layer:
2 cups crushed pretzels
2 TBsp sugar
1 cube (1/2 cup) melted butter

Mix and press in the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

Middle Layer:
1 cup sugar
8 oz cream cheese
8 oz cool whip

Blend and pour on mostly cooled pretzel mixture.

Top layer:
2 cups boiling water
1 larger raspberry jello
2 10 oz pkg of frozen raspberries

Mix boiling water and jello powder, let stand to cool a bit. Add berries and mix until it cools and begins to harden. Spread mixture on top and refrigerate until ready to serve. Delicious!

    So...I'm pretty sure that Jello is supposed to be a fatter free-er-ish type of dessert. But what is it you have done here? It looks as though you have turned it into a juicy calorie goddess! Thus inspiring me to give the wiggly dessert another shot! Woohoo!

    I have never been a big jell-o fan either. I really like this one though.
