STRAWBERRY PRETZEL SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*F.
• In a bowl combine pretzels, ¼ cup white sugar and butter. Mix well.
• Spread on the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish and press down to create a tight crust.
• Bake for 10 minutes then remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Once the crust is cooled, make cream cheese layer.
• In a bowl blend 1 cup sugar cream cheese and vanilla together.
• FOLD in the cool whip.
• GENTLY spread this mixture over cooled crust. I've found it easiest to place globs all over then gently spread them together.
• Make sure that white filling touches all sides of the pan. This will prevent jello mixture from sliding UNDER the cream cheese layer and making the crust soggy.
• Chill while you make the top layer.
• In a medium bowl, stir together jello and boiling water. Mix well until jello is fully dissolved.
• Add strawberries and mix until strawberries are thawed.
• Mixture should begin to thicken as the frozen berries will quickly bring the temperature down. When mixture is egg white consistency (thick, but soupy) (about 10 minutes) pour over the cream cheese layer.
• Chill for 1 hour or longer, until the jello is set.
