Preparation

Step 1

Note:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

1st layer:

In a bowl, mix the crushed pretzels, butter and 1 tablespoon sugar together. Press mixture into the bottom of a large flat baking dish. Bake 8 minutes at 350°F. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

2nd layer:

In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, Cool Whip, and 1/2 cup sugar. Spread mixture on top of cooled crust.

3rd layer:

In a bowl, mix the Jello, cranberry sauce and boiling water. Cool and pour over second layer. Place int he refrigerator to set (about 2 to 4 hours).
