I use diet jello and put it on the bottom of a sprayed cake pan and let it set up. Next, I spread on the cream cheese layer using only 1\/2 cup sugar and lite cool whip and last of all I sprinkle on the pretzels which I have toasted (instead of pressing the pretzels on the bottom of the pan spread out a little bit on a cookie sheet and Bake at 350 for 8 minutes. Take out of oven and cool , then break the mixture up and sprinkle on top.) I do it this way because then the pretzels don't get soft so soon. When making the orange version I also use pineapple tidbits so there isn't so much juice and the jello sets up better. We also like the texture better than all that crushed pineapple. I hope you like the changes but either way the recipe is a winner.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2019-01-17","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"quiltpinky1"},"reviewBody":"I had made this with the strawberry version before but I love the orange!!

I am going to compare the pretzel crust here to the recipe I already have on file, and perhaps adjust the amount of sugar and\/or butter. My family really enjoyed the orange flavor theme.
