2 c. crushed pretzels
3/4 c. melted butter
3 tbsp. sugar
1 (8 oz.) pkg. softened cream cheese
1 c. sugar
2 c. frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (6 oz.) pkg. strawberry gelatin
2 c. boiling water
2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries

Mix crushed pretzels, butter and 3 tablespoons sugar together; press into a 9 x 13-inch pan.

Bake at 400°F for 8 minutes. Cool thoroughly. Mix softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. Fold thawed whipped topping into cream cheese mixture and spread over cooled pretzel crust. Prepare strawberry gelatin with boiling water. Chill until syrupy, then pour over the cream cheese layer and refrigerate. Cut into squares and garnish with a dab of whipped topping and a whole strawberry, if desired.
