The BEST dessert

I must be on a dessert kick because I have in the past two weeks made lemon bars, mock eclairs, and now this. it is another of my mother-in-laws recipes that my sister Meg was kind enough to remind me of. It is soooo good and I personally like it more then the Mock eclairs!

Raspberry Pretzel Dessert
2 (3 oz.) pkgs. raspberry Jello
2 c. boiling water
1 (10 oz.) pkgs. frozen raspberries
1 stick butter, melted
3 tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 c. pretzels, crushed
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 (12 oz.) Cool Whip
1 c. sugar



Dissolve Jello in boiling water and add frozen raspberries. Let jell slightly. In another bowl Mix 3 tablespoons sugar, butter and pretzels together. Pat into a 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Beat cream cheese, Cool Whip and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Spread over baked and cooled pretzel mixture.Spread Jello mixture on top. You can actually choose different toppings rather then raspberry, just choose different fruit and different jello.

It really is so good! The pretzel crust is my favorite part.
