Ingredients 

Strawberry Jello Layer

  • 6 ounces Strawberry Jello mix
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3 cups strawberries sliced

Pretzel crust layer

  • 2 cups crushed pretzels I used the checker shaped ones but you can also use sticks
  • 3/4 cup butter melted
  • 3 Tablespoons sugar

Cream Layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 8 ounces cool whip thawed

Instructions

  • Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from stove and add jello. Stir until Jello is dissolved. Allow jello to cool to room temperature. Strawberries will be added at the end of the recipe.

Pretzel Layer

  • Combine melted butter and sugar. Stir in the crushed pretzels. Press evenly on the bottom of a 9x13 pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes. Let cool completely.

Cream Layer

  • In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip. Beat until smooth. 

Assembly

  • Spread cream layer over pretzel crust. Make sure to get the cream mixture tight against the edges of the pan to prevent the jello mixture from seeping through. If its not tightly sealed up agains the edges the jello will seep through and make the pretzels soggy.
  • Arrange sliced strawberries over the top of cream mixture.
  • Pour cooled jello over cream layer and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
