Ingredients

2 cups water
1 (6-ounce) box instant raspberry jello
2 ½ cups crushed pretzels
3 tablespoons brown sugar
¾ cup unsalted melted butter
1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese
1 cup granulated sugar
1 (8-ounce) container of Cool Whip
1 (16-ounce) container of fresh raspberries sliced, or 1 (10-ounce) package frozen raspberries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Bring 2 cups water to a boil and whisk in 1 (6-ounce) box instant raspberry jello. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine 2 ½ cups crushed pretzels, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, and ¾ cup unsalted melted butter. Press into a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Bake for 8 minutes and remove from oven. Let cool completely.
In a large bowl, add 1 (8-ounce) package softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar. Using an electric hand mixer, blend together until creamy. Fold in 1 (8-ounce) container of Cool Whip.
Spread the mixture over the top of the pretzel crust completely to the edges so the jello doesn't leak through.
Pour the cooled jello mixture over the cream cheese layer. Add 1 (16-ounce) container of fresh raspberries on top and refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving!
