Ingredients
  

  • 1 3.4-ounce package instant cheesecake pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 12 1-ounce bags mini pretzels
  • 1 21-ounce can strawberry pie filling
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping thawed
  • 2 tablespoons pretzels crushed, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl.
  • Whisk together for 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Place bowl in refrigerator for 5 minutes to set.
  • While pudding sets, gently crush pretzels in the bottom of each bag before opening.
  • Snip tops off of pretzel bags and roll bags down on top. Place them in a large casserole dish so bags can be propped up.
  • Evenly distribute pudding among the bags.
  • Evenly distribute strawberry pie filling among the bags.
  • Top with whipped topping.
  • Garnish with crushed pretzels, add a spoon to each bag, and serve.

Notes

Make sure to get instant pudding, not "cook and serve," or it won’t set. Do not assemble too far in advance unless you want the pretzels to be soft.
