I made this for my sisters graduation and it was a hit! Three people asked me for the recipe.

My recipe is a little different from this but it's the same basic thing. This is one that no one should go without trying. It really is one of the best dessert recipes out there. And if you want something different from strawberries go for it. Put a layer of your favorite instant pudding on top, or use different fruit and Jello combinations.

This is a classic recipe at our family get-togethers. It's delicious, and it can work as a side or a dessert.

this recipe is amazing! the only way to improve it is to find a way to quickly chop the pretzles-it is so much work!

Perfect for summer, sweet and delicious. The salty pretzels are a great addition to a sweet classic!

I have been making this for years, but instead of puting strawberries in the jello, I add a can of crushed pineapple(drained). This adds a great texture plus it tastes great.

Great recipe, I used pineapple juice instead of water to make the jello. Yummy!
