Beck's Pick
I had to bring a jello dessert to my in-laws' for Christmas. I had a little bit of a hard time deciding on one, but once I decided on this little number it turned out to be a big hit. It's great, because it's not too heavy, but still a little bit of sweet and salty.
2 cups crushed pretzels
3 tbsp sugar
1 stick butter
1 (8oz) pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar (powdered or regular)
12 oz. Cool Whip
2 cup boiling water
2 (3oz) pkgs. strawberry Jello
2 (10 oz) pkgs. frozen strawberries
Mix crushed pretzels with sugar and butter. Press into 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool.
Mix cream cheese and sugar. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread over pretzel mixture.
Add frozen strawberries to hot Jello (Jello and water). Stir until strawberries thaw and Jello starts to thicken. Pour on top of rest of dessert. Refrigerate.

I tried to make this one time....and I didn't read the directions all the way though....and didn't let the frozen strawberry/jello mixture thicken and cool....what a mess. Still tasted good, though :) You're right, it's a nice light salty/sweet. Those are the best!
One of the reasons I love my in-laws is that their family eats this as a salad. I love it then I get two desserts at the same meal. We just had it for Christmas dinner, on salad plates. Then I had peppermint dessert thing.
