Raspberry Surprise Crunch

2 c. crushed pretzels – rolled out
3 T sugar
1/2 c. butter

Mix pretzels, sugar, and butter.  Press into 9×13 pan.  Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.

1 6 oz. raspberry jello
1 10 oz. frozen raspberries
3 c. boiling water

Dissolve jello, add raspberries, let set until syrup stage.

1 8 oz. cream cheese
1 c. sugar
1 16 oz. can crushed pineapple – drained
1 12 oz. cool whip

Beat cream cheese and sugar.  Fold in topping and pineapple.  Spread on cooled crust.  Pour jello on top.

Refrigerate until set up.

**This is such a yummy summery dessert, light and fruity, and sure to impress with the layers.  The pretzels offer a little salty flavor and the berries are just plain yummy.  You could also do this dessert with strawberries and strawberry jello or any other fruity combo.  I would love to know what other combos you come up with!
