Orange Pretzel Salad
SUBMITTED by glorybee, Atlanta
“A different take on the usual Pretzel Salad.”
Crust:
2 cups crushed pretzels
3 teaspoons sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
2nd layer:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups whipped topping
Top layer:
2 packages (3 ounces each) orange gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 cans (8 ounces each) crushed pineapple
1 can (11 ounces) mandarin oranges, drained
In a small bowl, combine pretzels (measure after crushing) and 3
teaspoons sugar; stir in melted butter. Press into an ungreased
13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake in 350 degree oven for 10
minutes. Cool. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining
sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over cooled
crust; place in refrigerator until ready for next layer. In a
large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add pineapple and
oranges. Chill until partially set, about 30 minutes. Gently
spoon fruit/gelatin mixture over 2nd layer. Cover and
refrigerate for a couple hours or until firm. Cut into pieces.
Garnish with additional whipped topping if desired.
Food Editor’s Note: I made this recipe but divided all the
ingredients in half except for the oranges. I used an 8 x 8 inch
pan. Really Good!!!
