Tips and Tricks
Crushing Pretzels: Place pretzels in a resealable plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into small pieces. Alternatively, use a food processor for a finer texture.
Softening Cream Cheese: Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before beating to ensure it’s soft and easy to mix.
Even Layers: Make sure each layer is spread evenly to prevent any gaps or uneven distribution of the strawberry mixture.
