Strawberry Pretzel Salad

I LOVE this jello salad with a pretzel crust. Sweet and salty...yum! I found this recipe in a cookbook called, "Family Favorites" by Gooseberry Patch. It is definitely one of MY favorites!

Serves 12-16.

Crust:
2 cups crushed pretzels
3/4 cup butter, melted
3 tablespoons sugar

Filling:
1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed

Gelatin topping:
2 3-ounce packages strawberry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 10-ounce packages frozen strawberries

Preheat oven to 400. For crust, combine pretzels, butter, and sugar. Spread in bottom of 10x13 baking pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool.
For filling, blend cream cheese and sugar. Fold in whipped topping. Spread over crust.
For topping, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in strawberries. When partially set, pour over filling. Chill.
