Strawberry Pretzel Salad

================================================

This dessert is incredible!  The saltiness of the crust, mixed with
the sweetness of the filling and jello, is just yummy!  I make this
all the time and it's always a HUGE hit!

================================================

2 cups crushed salted pretzels (I just pulse them in a blender..works great)
3/4 cup melted butter
3 tablespoons sugar

16 oz cream cheese
1 cup sugar
8 oz cool whip

6 oz strawberry jello mix
2 cups boiling water
20 oz frozen strawberries

================================================

Preheat oven to 400°.
Stir together the pretzels, butter and sugar.
Press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan.
Bake for 8 minutes, Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cheese and sugar. 
Fold in cool whip.
Spread mixture onto the cooled crust.
Dissolve jello in boiling water.
Stir in frozen strawberries and allow to cool (so you don't melt the cream cheese layer). 
Once cooled (but not totally set), pour over the cream cheese mixcture.
Refrigerate until set.
