Recipe Description
Growing up, my mom had a specific jello recipe for each Holiday. At Christmas, she would make her layered jello, Thanksgiving is her blueberry cream cheese jello, and Easter is her strawberry pretzel salad. The strawberry pretzel salad was always one of my favorites because you get the sweetness from the cream cheese/jello, but also the saltiness from the crushed pretzels.
Now that I am older and have a family of my own, it is fun watching them experience their favorites each Holiday! My daughter’s favorite is this jello, whereas my oldest son’s favorite is the Thanksgiving blueberry jello!!
This is one of those dishes that is perfect for BBQ’s, side dishes, parties, or sweet treats! No need to wait for a Holiday to make this! If you like a salty/sweet combo, this is perfect for you!
Enjoy!!
