I never know if I should call this a salad or a dessert. It tastes like a dessert to me but I have heard to it referred to as a salad....because there's Jello in it? I am not sure. Either way, it is delicious! Some of my friends have been asking me to post this for a while now and I am finally getting around to it. It is fairly easy and very delicious! Just make sure you have some time when you make it because it has to set in the fridge for a couple of hours! I hope you love this as much as I do! Enjoy!
Here are the ingredients: frozen raspberries (yum!), pretzels, sugar, butter, cool whip, cream cheese, and raspberry jello.
For the first layer you need to crush up pretzels until you have 1 1/2 cups of crushed pretzels. I like to crush them in a handy thing like this but I have also just crushed them by sticking them in a zip-loc bag and hammering them.
Next you melt a cube of butter. Add 1/2 cup white sugar and the crushed pretzels to the melted butter and mix it around with a fork.
Dump it into a greased 9x13 pan and spread it around until the pretzel mixture is evenly spread. Bake it at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes.
When it comes out it should look something like this! Not too different from the last picture but the sugar, butter, and pretzels are sticking together better now. Let it cool before adding the next layer to it.
Now we can move onto the 2nd layer. For this layer you need to soften 8 oz of cream cheese. Then mix it together with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1- 8 oz container of cool whip. I usually mix it with a mixer.
It should look something like this after you mix it up!
Spread it onto the pretzel mixture once the pretzel mixture has cooled. Refrigerate it until it is cool. I usually just stick it in the fridge for 10-20 minutes. It depends on how much time you have while making the dessert/salad.
It's time for layer #3. For this layer you dissolve 6 oz of Raspberry Jello into 2 cups of boiling water. Remove from heat and immediately add 1 bag or 2 boxes of frozen raspberries. Stir it around until the raspberries are not sticking together anymore.
Then pour the raspberry mixture on top of everything else. Refrigerate for around 2 hours or until the Jello is firm.
Then you serve it! You will love it and will want to eat more than one piece for sure! I can't get enough of it whenever I make it! I hope you love it too!

I found this recipe the other day on the make-it-do website and made it. They were delicious! I love snacks with cold cereal in it and this one is good! It is easy and quick. I made it for my cousins the other day and they loved it! To find this recipe and step by step directions on how to make it, visit the make-it-do website here.
Here is a close up in case you want to see how good these look! Enjoy!
This caramel corn is AMAZING! I seriously LOVE it! My mom made it all growing up and it is a family favorite! She got this recipe from her cousin Kath. It is easy to make and it is the perfect time of year to make it.
Here are the ingredients: 2 cups of brown sugar, 1 can Eagle Brand milk, 1 cup butter,1 cup of Karo syrup, and 1 1/2 cups of popcorn kernels.
Pop 1 1/2 cups of popcorn kernels in a popcorn popper. Once popped it should fill 2 big bowls. Try to pick out the kernels that don't pop as you go. Set the popcorn aside while you make the caramel. Yum!
Melt the butter, brown sugar, and karo syrup in a saucepan.
Bring first 3 ingredients to a boil. Boil until the temperature reaches 240 degrees F or a softball stage.
It should look something like this... Once it is hot enough, remove from heat.
Add the Eagle Bran Milk and stir to combine.
Pour evenly over all the popcorn. Sometimes I split the popcorn into 3 bowls to make it easier to mix up. You can make these into popcorn balls or just eat it straight out of the bowl. Either way, it is delicious!
Here is a close up. I promise it is even better than it looks! Enjoy!
