A sweet and salty plate of fabulous, that will add tons of goodness to any party or family cookout. The combination of jello and cool whip, creamy and smooth and just a touch of crunch from the pretzels to make all these flavors work so nicely with every bite.
J-E-L-L-OOO yum! Pretzel jello is one of the easiest recipes I have made and it’s lucky I made two, because it was devoured at our family party. One of the best things about Pretzel Jello is it can be made with any flavor jello you like and will be a favorite side to any meal. My Sister-In-Law had my whole family over for a birthday celebration and I brought this Pretzel Jello, and she and her Mom proceeded to eat it, and nothing else. I could say they “loved it.”
There is just something about jello, cool whip, and cream cheese on top of a crunchy baked pretzel crust that keeps everyone coming back for more. No matter how full you are, you just can’t stop at one helping. The best thing about this Pretzel Jello is that you can eat it with dinner and continue on into dessert. Make this a fit-fabulous side or dessert with using whole wheat pretzels and sugar/splenda mix reducing the sugar and added calories. The next time you need a fun, colorful, and oh so fabulous Jello, make it Pretzel Jello, you can’t go wrong. xoxo

- 2-10oz packages of frozen raspberries
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix crushed pretzels, 3 tablespoon sugar/splenda mix, and melted butter in large mixing bowl.
- Spread in an 8x11 pan and bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool.
- Cream the cream cheese with electric mixer, and then add cool whip and sugar.
- Spread over cooled pretzel crust.
- Dissolve the jello in 2 cups boiling water, and then add frozen raspberries. Stir until raspberries are thawed.
- Refrigerate Jello mix for 10 minutes.

I love, love, love this delicious dessert! I make it all the time – very similar recipe to yours.
I’m guessing that the following is a typo in your recipe: “2-small boxes of raspberry JAM (or any JAM you choose)”? You probably meant to say JELL-O, right? Not JAM.
Thanks for reminding me of this again for the Holidays!!
