  • 3 cups of cold water
  • 1 package of Swedish fish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine crushed pretzel crumbs (my kids love helping with the crushing part ?) , 1/4 cup of sugar and melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9X13 inch glass dish or pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes and cool.
  3. Beat cream cheese, the other 1/4 cup of sugar and milk with a mixer. Stir in the cool whip and spread over the pretzel crust. Refrigerate.
  4. Add boiling water to gelatin mix in large bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in 3 cups of cold water. Chill until partially set. Pour over cream cheese layer and refrigerate until firm.
  5. When the jello is completely firm, (about 4 hours) make slits in the jello (the length of the Swedish fish) and insert the fish. Add them all over the top layer of the dessert to create a fish filled ocean!
