Orange Pretzel Salad image

This Jello dessert is one of my personal favorites, and always gets great reviews when anyone tries it. I actually prefer this over the Strawberry pretzel salad. The recipe is another from my Taste of Home - Aug/Sept 2007 magazine..been tested and approved by my friends and family. Enjoy!

This salad is delicious and so easy to make. I used sugar-free orange jello and it was still plenty sweet.

This salad was a huge hit at my last party. I cut the recipe in half and it was still plenty for 10 people. I also used sugar-free orange jello and fat-free whipped topping to make it a little healthier. It was still delicious and no one even noticed
