Strawberry pretzel dessert is a classic we absolutely love. The pretzel crust perfectly compliments the sweet strawberries suspended in Jell-O. Even better is the rich cream cheese layer in the middle. Such a perfect dessert! This dessert also goes by Strawberry Pretzel Salad, which means it’s healthy, right??

- Make the Strawberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water and cornstarch and bring to a boil. Boil 2 minutes, whisking constantly (mixture will thicken), then remove from heat. Add Jell-o and whisk until combined. Let cool 5 minutes.
