Ingredients
First layer:
- 2 cups Pretzels (crushed)
- 3/4 cup Butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
Second layer:
- 1 (8-ounce) Package of cream cheese
- 1 (8-ounce) Container of Cool Whip
- 1/2 cup Sugar
Third layer:
- 1 large Package of black cherry Jello
- 2 cans Whole cranberry sauce
- 2 cups Boiling water
Instructions
Note:
- As other layers are prepared, the third layer can be prepared first and put in the refrigerator for later use. Make sure not to let it sit for too long; it doesn't want to congeal.
- 350°F is the recommended temperature for the oven.
First layer:
- The crushed pretzels should be combined with the butter and sugar in a bowl. In a large flat baking dish, press the mixture into the bottom. The baking process should take eight minutes at 350°F. Cool the dish after it has been removed from the oven.
Second layer:
- Make a cream cheese mixture with Cool Whip, cream cheese, and 1/2 cup sugar. After the crust has cooled, spread the mixture over it.
Third layer:
- The Jello, cranberry sauce, and boiling water should be mixed in a bowl. Allow to cool and then pour over the second layer. Let it chill for 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
