Westward-ho!

The Rowans are moving to Utah! Jamin just got a job offer from BYU (a tenure-track, we'll stay forever kind of job), and we are headed to Provo this summer. (Can you believe it?!?!?!?) See you soon!

Pretzel Salad

Pretzel Salad
Ingredients:
Crust:
3 cups chopped pretzels
1 Tbsp Sugar
3/4 Cup Butter (softened, but not melted)

Middle Layer:
12 oz Cream Cheese
1 1/4 Cup Sugar
8 oz Cool Whip

Top Layer:
One 6 oz pkg Jello (I used raspberry, but you can use any flavor)
2 Cups pineapple juice
1 pkg of frozen fruit (I used raspberries)

Directions:
Crust:
Mix pretzels, butter, and sugar together. Put in 9x13 pan and bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. (I also sprinkled sugar on the bottom of the pan before putting the mixture in. It makes it crunchier.)

Middle Layer:
Mix ingredients and spread over crust after crust has cooled. Make sure there aren't any holes.

Top Layer:
Bring juice to a boil then dissolve the jello into the juice. Add fruit to juice/jello misture then pour on top and put in fridge to firm.

I use the freezer in between the layers to speed things up.
Great for Summer BBQ's!
