Ingredients

2 cups crushed pretzels
0.75 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 (3 ounce) packages strawberry flavored Jell-O®
2 cups boiling water
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen strawberries

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and gather all the necessary ingredients.
Combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Mix thoroughly and press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 8 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is set. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping, then spread the mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
Dissolve the strawberry gelatin in boiling water. Stir in the still-frozen strawberries and let the mixture thicken slightly. Pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Serve your delicious strawberry pretzel salad and enjoy!
