This is an easy to make, delicious, salty, sweet and creamy dish.... some call it salad, some call it dessert. I serve it as a light dessert. It is surprisingly delicious. It consists of bottom layer of crust made with pretzels, butter and sugar, middle layer with cream cheese and top layer with fruit and jello. Here is how you make it..

- 2 cup crushed pretzels sticks
- ¾ cup melted butter
- 3 tbl spoon sugar
Method:
- Mix together and press into bottom of 9x13 pan.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 7 minutes. Cool completely.
Cream Cheese Layer

Jello Layer
Ingredients:
