Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup of pretzels chopped
  • 1/2 cup of pecans
  • 3/4 cup of brown sugar
  • 8 oz of cream cheese
  • 1 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 8 oz tub of cool whip thawed
  • 2 cups of strawberries diced

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. In a medium sized bowl add the butter, pretzels, pecans and brown sugar. Stir until combined. Pour onto the baking sheet and spread out. Place in the oven and cook for 8 minutes. Make sure it does not burn.
  • Remove from the oven, stir slightly and let cool. In a large bowl add the cream cheese, vanilla and sugar. Beat using a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the whipped topping and fold using a silicone or wooden spoon.
  • Once the pretzels have completely cooled, scrape the pretzels and pecan mixture into the cream cheese mixture and add the patted dry strawberries. Gently fold with a spoon to combine. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Make sure your baking sheet has edges or the butter will drip everywhere.
