PRETZEL SALAD 
1 1/2 c. crushed pretzels
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter
1 pkg. (9 oz.) frozen whipped topping
8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
2 pkg. (3 oz.) strawberry gelatin
1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen strawberries, undrained
1 c. crushed pineapple, drained

Melt butter at 100% power 30-45 seconds and combine with sugar and pretzels. Place in a 9 x 13 inch pan and microwave uncovered 70-80% power for 2-4 minutes. Set aside and cool.

Mix cream cheese, topping, powdered sugar and spread over crust. Place in refrigerator to partially set.

In an 8 cup container heat 2 cups water. Add gelatin. Heat additional minute or two at 100% until gelatin dissolves. Add strawberries and pineapple and refrigerate until partially set. Pour on top of others two layers and refrigerate until firm.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
