Hello Friends! Welcome back to
TASTY TUESDAY!
Today I’m sharing with you my version of the Strawberry Pretzel Jello! I made it for our family dinner a couple sundays ago and it was a hit!!
For the fruit in my Jello layer, I used these sliced strawberries with sugar you can get in the frozen food section of the grocery store. I thawed them out first which created a lot of juice. I spooned all the strawberry slices out of the juice and left about 1/3 of the container full of excess juice. There were plenty of berries and it tasted yummy because of all the added sugar!!
Here is what each layer looked like during the process.

I can never get the perfectly sliced pieces. They always look kind of messy. Any you know what? That’s ok. It still tastes just as good! 🙂
The brown sugar and butter on the pretzels make them taste like pecans!! Delicious!!
I hope you all give it a try! It’s super simple and your family will thank you! The first time she had it, my niece asked what the candy on the bottom was!!
ENJOY!
