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.
