This pecan pretzel salad is cool and creamy with caramelized brown sugar pretzels and diced strawberries. The perfect summer time dessert!

Ingredients

• 1 cup pretzels, crushed
• 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 2 cups strawberries, diced
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 8 ounces whipped topping

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together crushed pretzels, chopped pecans, brown sugar and melted butter.

Spread on a large baking sheet with sides (I used my jelly roll pan) and bake at 400°F for 7 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool and then break it into small pieces.

Beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla. Fold in whipped topping.

Before serving, stir the diced strawberries and sugared pretzels and pecans into the cream cheese mixture.
