Strawberry Pecan Pretzel Salad

Strawberry Pecan Pretzel Salad is one of the MOST POPULAR recipes. It’s cool and creamy with caramelized brown sugar pretzels and diced strawberries.

Ingredients

• 1 cup crushed pretzels
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 3 cups diced strawberries
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 3 cups cool whip, (or use whipped cream)

Instructions

Mix together crushed pretzels, chopped pecans, brown sugar and melted butter.

Spread on a large baking sheet with sides (I used my jelly roll pan) and bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool and then break it into small pieces. Set aside.

Beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla.

Fold in the cool whip. Cover and store in the fridge.

Before serving, stir the diced strawberries and sugared pretzels and pecans into the cream cheese mixture.
