PRETZEL SALAD 
2 c. crushed pretzels (not too fine, and use low salt pretzels for best flavor)
3/4 c. butter, melted
3 tbsp. sugar
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 (9 oz.) container Cool Whip
1 (6 oz.) pkg. strawberry jello
2 tbsp. sugar
2 c. boiling water
20 oz. frozen strawberries

Mix crushed pretzels, butter, and sugar together and press into a 9x13 pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Be sure not to overbake. Mixture does not change in appearance. Cool.

Combine cream cheese, Cool Whip, and sugar. Mix well; spread on cooled crust. Mix jello in water. Add frozen berries. Stir until the berries soften and jello begins to thicken. (This will take about 10 minutes.) Spread on top of cheese mixture. Cover with Saran or foil and store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
