Orange Pretzel Salad image

This Jello dessert is one of my personal favorites, and always gets great reviews when anyone tries it. I actually prefer this over the Strawberry pretzel salad. The recipe is another from my Taste of Home - Aug/Sept 2007 magazine..been tested and approved by my friends and family. Enjoy!
