For this delicious Canada day treat you will need:

• 2 packages of raspberry jello
• 2 cups of boiling water
• 4 cups of pretzels
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup of butter
• 1 (8oz) package of cream cheese-softened
• 1L tub of whipped topping
• 1 cup of sugar
• 4 cups of fresh berries

1. Combine both Jello packages with 2 cups of boiling water in a bowl and set aside to cool.

2. Crush 4 cups of pretzels in a Ziplock bag, using a malet or a rolling pin.

3. Melt the butter then add 1/4 cup of white sugar in a saucepan. Add pretzels and mix together. 

4. Lightly press pretzel mix into a 9x13inch dish and bake for 10 minutes at 350°F then cool at room temperature. 

5.  While pretzel dish is cooling down for about 30 mins, beat 8oz of cream cheese and 1 cup sugar on medium/low speed until well combined. 

6. Next stir in whipped cream using a spatula and mix.

7. Spread soft mixture over the cooled pretzels and go all the way to the edges of the dish to create a seal-you don’t want the jello leaking on the pretzels! Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

8. Place desired berries evenly on the cream filling. Next pour Jello over the berries and put in the fridge until the Jello is set. ENJOY 😉

How to make chocolate canadian maple leafs: I found a maple leaf image online, copied and pasted it on a document, shrinking it to about the size of a quarter.  Print a sheet of them off.  Cover it wth wax paper . Melt 1/4 cup chocolate chips or chocolate wafers in the microwave (about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds).  Once melted, pour chocolate into a small ziplock bag.  Cut a tiny hole off the corner of the ziplock bag and outline the leafs.  Cool in freezer.  Peel off and place on dessert, just before serving.
