Strawberry Pretzel Dessert
I got this recipe from Margie, my manicurist, who said she made this for her family and they devoured the whole thing in one
sitting. I thought this must be one yummy dessert and wow,
you will not believe how something so simple could be so good.
Crust Ingredients:
2 cups crushed pretzels
1 stick butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar
Filling Ingredients:
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 10-ounce tub Cool Whip
Topping Ingredients:
2 3-ounce packages strawberry Jello
2 cups boiling water
1 16-oz package (or 2 10-oz packages) frozen strawberries, thawed and sliced
Heat oven to 350°.
Mix together pretzels, melted butter and sugar. Spray a 13x9x2 pan with Pam and lightly press the pretzel mixture into the
pan. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spread the mixture over the cooled crust.
In a large bowl, dissolve the Jello in the boiling water. Stir in the thawed strawberries. Place over a larger bowl of water with ice
cubes in it, and refrigerate it, stirring occasionally until the mixture starts to set slightly. Spoon the mixture over the cream cheese
filling. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
To serve it, you can either cut it into small squares, knowing you'll have to get up again
 to serve seconds, or you can do yourself a favor and serve everyone a huge piece first
time around  .
