It's a winner! The SPS's (Wow. I'm becoming like Rachel Ray with my annoying abbreviations, huh?) were a hit among friends at a dinner potluck last night.
Tasting a bit like strawberry cheesecake, these squares provide an interesting twist on the usual strawberry/cream/graham cracker crust desserts out there because the crust is made of pretzels instead of graham crackers. The saltiness of the pretzels complements the sweetness of the strawberries and cream cheese layers.
I made a few tweaks to the recipe, though not all were smart. I had large sourdough pretzels on hand, so I just used those. Next time I will use normal thin pretzels. These were much too hard! Also, to lighten up the recipe I used sugar-free Jell-O, reduced calorie Cool Whip, and reduced fat cream cheese. Now I can eat double servings without the guilt. Ha.
