Ingredients
6 individual snack bags of mini pretzels (approx 1 oz each)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
1 lb fresh strawberries, hulled and diced
2 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1: In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate and create a syrup.
Step 2: In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
Step 3: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Step 4: Gently crush the pretzels inside their sealed bags, then open the tops of the bags.
Step 5: Spoon a generous dollop of the cream cheese mixture into each bag over the crushed pretzels.
Step 6: Top each bag with the macerated strawberries and their syrup.
Step 7: Serve immediately with a spoon and enjoy your walking strawberry pretzel salad!
Notes
Serve immediately to ensure the pretzels stay crunchy. For a firmer cream cheese layer, chill the mixture for 30 minutes before assembling.
