Your family will love this cranberry version of the infamous pretzel salad!<\/p>\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list is-style-fancy\">\n<li><strong>Combine Crust Ingredients:<\/strong> Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine the crushed pretzels, brown sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bake Crust:<\/strong> Press the mixture into a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/pyrex-9-34-x13-34-deep-glass-bakeware\/-\/A-76431266#lnk=sametab\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">baking dish<\/a>. Bake for 8 minutes, remove it from the oven, and let it cool completely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the Jello Layer:<\/strong> While the crust is baking, make the jello according to the package directions, stirring in the can of cranberry sauce. Let the jello sit at room temperature for an hour or so until it has cooled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix the Sugar and Cream Cheese:<\/strong> Meanwhile, beat the cream cheese and sugar together with a hand mixer in a large bowl until creamy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fold in the Cool Whip:<\/strong> Fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spread on Cream Cheese Layer and Chill:<\/strong> Spread the cream cheese mixture over the top of the pretzel crust. <strong>Spread completely to the edges so the jello won\u2019t leak through.<\/strong> Chill in the fridge while the jello is cooling down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pour on the Jello Layer and Refrigerate:<\/strong> Slowly pour the cooled jello mixture over the chilled cream cheese layer.

I have some great ideas to make it just the way you like it!<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Whipped Topping:<\/strong> To use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/homemade-whipped-cream\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">real whipped cream<\/a>\u00a0instead of whipped topping, whip 1 1\/2 cups of cold heavy whipping cream and three tablespoons of powdered sugar to medium-stiff peaks. Use as directed in the recipe card in place of the whipped topping.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jello Flavor:<\/strong> If you can find the seasonal cranberry-flavored jello, go ahead and use two 3-ounce boxes of it in place of the raspberry jello! You may use cherry or strawberry jello instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cranberry Sauce Tips:<\/strong> If you don\u2019t want whole cranberries in the jello, I recommend blending the whole berry sauce until smooth instead of using a can of jellied cranberry sauce. The whole cranberries contain a lot of pectic, which helps the jello set up even with the added fruit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add Spices:<\/strong> If you like spiced cranberries, try adding a pinch or two of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a tiny pinch of cloves!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Close side view of a spatula lifting a slice of cranberry pretzel salad from the baking dish.\" class=\"wp-image-275554\" title=\"Make this festive cranberry pretzel salad for the holidays!
