Long time ago my neighbors served a yummy dessert at their cookout when I was a teen! I didn’t know the name of it or what was all in it except for strawberries, pretzels and something creamy. Somehow as an adult, I came across this recipe and got too excited! I made it and it brought me back to my neighbors cookout! It’s a sweet salty combo with a creamy crunchy texture. The perfect treat for this summers heat!
