Betty Crocker's Strawberry Pretzel "Salad"

Ingredients

• 2 packages strawberry Jell-O
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 boxes (16 oz each) frozen sweetened strawberries, thawed (I used a quart of fresh and sliced them instead)
• 2 cups pretzels
• 3/4 cup butter, melted
• 3 Tbsp. sugar
• 1 container (8 oz.) Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sugar

Method

1. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in strawberries; refrigerate until partially set, about 1 hour 45 minutes.
2. Heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In medium bowl, mix crust ingredients. Press into greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Bake 10 minutes or until set. Cool on cooling rack.
3. In medium bowl, beat filling ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Spread over cooled crust. Cover and refrigerate until cool and gelatin topping in bowl is partially set.
4. Carefully spoon gelatin topping over filling. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours or until firm. To serve, cut into squares.
