Strawberries & Cream with Sugared Pretzels and Pecans

March 23, 2016 by Dangerously-Delicious.com

It’s strawberry season! The perfect time to make this Strawberries & Cream with Sugared Pretzels and Pecans! Slice up those beautiful ruby red berries and toss them in a cream cheese fluff.  You’ll love biting into the toasted pretzels and pecans coated in brown sugar. Fruit salad doesn’t get any better than this!!!

Strawberry Pretzel Salad with Brown Sugar and Pecans

Here in South Florida we are lucky to have access to some pretty awesome strawberry farms to pick our own strawberries. It’s SO fun and really dear to my heart. One of my favorite memories as a child is going strawberry picking with my parents. I’m grateful that I get to enjoy that same simple pleasure with my own family now. They absolutely LOVE it too. Something about finding the biggest, juiciest strawberry out there is very exciting. And eating them right off the vine, nothing beats that!


By the time we’re done picking strawberries we have close to 10 lbs (sometimes more) of strawberries. Finding recipes, besides freezer jam, to use up all those strawberries is a must. This recipe is won.der.ful!!!! It should really be titled Strawberry “crack” Salad. I can’t stop eating it once I start. There is a similar recipe on the blog you’ll want to check out too if this one is calling your name, it’s Caramel Apple Salad with Sugared Pretzels & Pecans. My heart skips a beat for that recipe as well!

Sliced Strawberries

Start by slicing your strawberries into fourths.

Sugared Pretzels & Pecans

Mix the melted butter, crushed pretzels and pecan pieces together and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 7 minutes and let cool. Break into small pieces.

Strawberry Pretzel Salad w- Brown Sugar & Pecans

Whip together softened cream cheese, vanilla and Cool Whip. Fold strawberries and toasted pretzels and pecans into cream mixture. Sprinkle additional sugared pretzels and pecans on top for garnish.

    Could you tell me where the 1/2 cup of sugar comes in. I see the brown sugar in recipe instructions but I don’t see the white sugar. Thank you I really want to try the recipe and I don’t want to mess it up.

      Oh my! You’re right! I never mentioned it. Thank you!! You add it to the cool whip mixture. I just fixed it so there won’t be any confusion in the future. Thank again! Hope you love it as much as I do!
