It May Sound Weird, But This Strawberry Pretzel Salad Is Insanely Yummy

OK, so... I have to write about this. The name may deter you away, but you need to stay. Yes, there are strawberries in it. Yes, there are pretzels in it. And lettuce and mayonnaise and hot sauce and salmon. I'm kidding about the last sentence. Contrary to popular belief, this isn't a salad, and it is not healthy. It's actually a heart attack in a pan.

So basically it's a dessert. There's a sweet and salty pretzel crust on the bottom, a cheesecake-ish center, and a strawberry Jell-O top. It's seriously so good and you need to try it. What you'll need is:

What You Need:

1 9" x 13" pan

1 6-oz. box of strawberry jello

1 8-oz. package of cream cheese

1/3 cup of butter

3 cups of pretzels

1 8-oz. container of whipped topping

2 cups of boiling water and then 2 cups of cold water

1 cup of white sugar

3 tablespoons of white sugar

1 package of frozen strawberries

-----------------------------------------------

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F

2. Crush all the pretzels (not into dust but just so they're crushed enough), melt the butter and add it to the pretzels, and add the 3 tablespoons of sugar together.

3. Mix the sexy mixture and add it to the bottom of the pan ;)

4. Bake the crust in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes (don't let it burn!)

5. While your waiting, mix the cream cheese and the sugar until it's once consistent creamy concoction (triple C).

6. Once it's creamy to your liking, add the whipped topping and fold it in (it may not look like enough but it is).

7. Take that crust out of the oven after it's done and add the consistent creamy concoction on top of the crust and layer it evenly.

8. While it cools, make the strawberry Jell-O (the directions are on the box; come on, people) and add the strawberries in it (slice them) when it gets a little slimy.

9. Add the Jell-O topping on top of the crust and CCC and then pop it in the fridge for four hours.

10. Eat it. It makes a lot so you can eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner because you're going to want to eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, because it's going to taste so good.

There you have it! It may look like garbage, but I swear it tastes like yummy deliciousness. And even if it tastes like garbage, it'll be like Target garbage and not Walmart garbage.

*For those of you looking for a low-calorie version, it doesn't exist

Or, maybe swap the whipped topping for fat-free whipped topping. LOL!

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.
