Ingredients

  • 2 cups pretzels crushed (measure crushed pretzels)
  • ¾ cups butter melted
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 8 oz Cool Whip
  • 1 box Blueberry jello The large box - 6 oz
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 16 oz fresh blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • Crush pretzels into small pieces. You don't want to crush too fine. Below shows a closeup of the baked crust, showing the varying sizes of the crushed pretzels. It's OK to have some small pretzel pieces.
  • In a 9x13 baking dish, spread evenly and press down the crushed pretzel mixture to make a crust.
  • Bake 8 minutes, remove from oven and let cool.
  • Whip cream cheese with ¾ cup sugar. Stir in Cool Whip.
  • Spread the cream cheese and cool whip mixture on the cooled pretzel mixture.
  • Make jello according to package directions. Place in refrigerator and watch for the jello to partially set. You are looking for it to be cool and a thick liquid.
  • Place blueberries on the whipped cream/cream cheese layer. They won't totally cover, you just want them to be evenly spaced.
  • Gently pour cooled jello on this layer.
  • Refrigerate until firm and set.
  • Optional garnish is some leftover whipped cream, blueberries and a pretzel.
