Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Butter– Unsalted butter, melted.
- Pretzels– Chopped
- Pecans– You can use halved pecans for bigger pieces or chopped pecans. If you use chopped pecans, you may need to adjust the bake time down.
- Sugar– Brown and granulated
- Cream cheese– Softened to room temperature
- Vanilla– Real vanilla extract tastes the best
- Whipped topping– The kind you find in the frozen section at the grocery store like Cool Whip. Thaw the tub.
- Strawberries– Diced
How to Make
Strawberry pretzel fluff salad is very easy to make.
In a medium sized bowl mix together the butter, pretzels, pecans and brown sugar until everything is combined.
Pour the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with foil, spreading it out evenly.
Bake it 400° for 8 minutes, keeping an eye on it to make sure it does not burn.
Remove it from the oven and stir it slightly.
Let the mixture cool completely.
Once the pretzel mixture is cool, beat the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar together in a large bowl using a hand mixer.
When the mixture is smooth and creamy, fold in the whipped topping.
Then fold in the pretzel pecan mixture and the strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
Serve and enjoy!
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Keep in mind the longer you store this salad, the softer the pretzels will get.
Tips and Tricks
- Use a rimmed baking sheet or the butter will drip everywhere.
- Pat the strawberries dry before adding them to the salad so the salad isn’t watery.
- Reserve a little of the pretzel mixture and a few strawberries for topping.
- You can serve this with graham crackers or Nilla wafers for scooping.
