Tips:

- When preparing the crust, use a food processor to crush the pretzels into fine crumbs for a smooth and even texture. - For a more authentic flavor, use real butter instead of margarine in the crust mixture. - Chill the crust thoroughly before pouring in the Jell-O mixture to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. - To ensure a smooth and lump-free Jell-O mixture, whisk the dry Jell-O powder with sugar before dissolving it in hot water. - Use boiling water to dissolve the Jell-O powder, as this helps the gelatin to bloom properly and achieve the desired consistency. - Allow the Jell-O mixture to cool slightly before mixing in the whipped topping or cream cheese to prevent the mixture from curdling. - For a creamier texture, use full-fat cream cheese and whip it until light and fluffy before folding it into the Jell-O mixture. - Refrigerate the salad for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly and develop its full flavor. - Garnish the salad with additional crushed pretzels, whipped cream, or fresh fruit for a visually appealing presentation.
