By sassy47

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups finely crushed pretzels
• 1/4 cup plus 1-1/2 tablespoons Splenda Sugar Blend, divided
• 1/2 cup light tub margarine, trans-fat-free, melted
• 1 package (4-serving-size) sugar-free raspberry-flavored gelatin
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1 (12-ounce) package frozen raspberries (see Note)
• 1 (8-ounce) package fat-free cream cheese, softened
• 1 (8-ounce) container frozen fat-free whipped topping, thawed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine crushed pretzels, 1-1/2 tablespoons Splenda, and margarine. Press mixture into bottom of prepared baking dish.
Bake 8 minutes; let cool.
In a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Add raspberries and chill until slightly thickened. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, combine cream cheese and remaining Splenda until smooth and creamy. Fold in whipped topping and spread evenly over pretzel crust.
With an electric mixer on low speed, beat gelatin and raspberries until berries are broken up. Spread over cream cheese layer.
Cover and chill at least 4 hours, or until firm.
