Ingredients

Crust

  • 2 cups crushed pretzels This is just short of 6 ounces
  • 3/4 cup butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

First Layer

  • 8 oz package cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 8 oz container frozen whipped topping thawed

Second Layer

  • 2 3 oz packages strawberry flavored Jell-O®
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 16 oz Fresh or frozen sliced strawberries

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).Stir together crushed pretzels, melted butter and 3 tablespoons sugar; mix well and press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until set. Set aside to cool.
    In a large mixing bowl cream together cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. Fold in whipped topping. Spread mixture onto completely cooled crust. Make sure to seal the edges, or the jello will make the pretzels soggy! Chill until firm.
    Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in still strawberries and allow to set until thickened (if you use slightly frozen strawberries, it helps speed the process) Refrigerate several hours (overnight is better!)
