Ingredients

2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 (3-ounce) packages strawberry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen sliced strawberries, thawed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons sugar in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly browned. Cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over cooled crust.
In a separate bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in strawberries. Let sit until slightly thickened (about 15 minutes).
Pour gelatin mixture over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Tips

For a less sweet version, use unsalted pretzels and reduce sugar in cream cheese layer to 3/4 cup.
Can be made a day ahead; cover and refrigerate.
