Perfectly sweet and just a little bit salty, this Raspberry Pretzel Salad will have your tastebuds pining for more!
I love that this dessert starts with a pretzel crust. You don’t find those very often and at first glance, this dessert looks like it’s built on a standard graham cracker crust. Not so my friends!
The salty pretzel crust is topped with an amazingly creamy layer made with cream cheese and Cool Whip. You can always sub in whipped cream if you want. It just takes a little longer.
The next layer is the raspberry Jello layer and it adds such a punch of flavor and sweetness to the salad. This also happens to be Reece’s and Bryce’s favorite layer. Mine too, now that I think about it :) That bright color is what makes this dessert so much fun!
I took my old recipe and lightened it up a bit and then added a layer of Cool Whip and a sprinkle of crushed pretzels to the top. I think it’s just the update this Raspberry Pretzel Salad needed. This salad is so much fun and you’re going to love the sweet and salty combo!
This dessert salad is the perfect make-ahead dessert for any occasion…especially a baby shower!
I’m so excited to be part of this baby shower for my girl Lisa. She is the SWEETEST most AMAZING person and I am just thrilled that she and her family will be welcoming a new little bundle of joy into their family very soon. Please join us in celebrating a virtual baby show from Lisa of Wine and Glue. If you didn’t know already, it’s a girl!
