This is one of my favorite desserts. I love the sweet cream cheese and tangy raspberry flavors mixed with the salty pretzel crust. After asking several people for this recipe and never receiving it I went on a web search. I made it for dessert on Monday and then guess what happened...on Tuesday someone brought the recipe to the ward recipe swap. The recipe was almost exactly the same so I guess I didn't do too bad. My family loved it and my daughter wanted to eat it for breakfast. It contains fruit, grain, and dairy products-does that count as a balanced breakfast meal?
PRETZEL JELLO DESSERT
CRUST
2 1/2 c. crushed pretzels
3 T. sugar
1 stick of butter, melted
Mix together and press into a 9 x 13 pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool completely.
CREAM CHEESE LAYER
1 8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1 12 oz. container Cool Whip
1 c. sugar
Beat cream cheese and sugar together. Add Cool Whip. Spread over baked and cooled pretzel mixture.
JELLO LAYER
2 3 oz. pkgs. strawberry or raspberry Jello
2 c. boiling water
2 10 oz. pkgs. frozen strawberries or raspberries
Dissolve Jello in boiling water and add frozen fruit. Let jell slightly. Spread Jello mixture on top of cream cheese layer.
Enjoy!

That's true, my kids just eat the marshmallows out of the Lucky Charms anyway!
