Strawberry Pecan Pretzel Salad
Ingredients
1 cup crushed pretzels
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, melted
3 cups diced strawberries
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups cool whip, (or use whipped cream)
Directions
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 degrees for 6-7 minutes(watch so it doesn't burn). Allow the mixture to cool and then break it into small pieces. Set aside.
Beat together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla.
Fold in the cool whip. Cover and store in the fridge.
Before serving, stir the diced strawberries and sugared pretzels and pecans into the cream cheese mixture.
