Pretzel Salad



My favorite thing that I made this Christmas was Pretzel Salad. It is really easy and so good. My step-mother-in-law gave me this recipe because Justin really likes it. Top: all the ingredients separated and below that is the delicious result. Here is the recipe:

Pretzel Salad

2 C crushed pretzels
3 T sugar
3/4 C margarine (melted)
1 (6 oz.) pkg. raspberry gelatin
2 C boiling water
1 (6 oz.) crushed pineapple w/juice

1 C sugar
8 oz. cream cheese
