Mix together:
2 cups crushed pretzels – bigger knotted kind
3 Tablespoons sugar
3/4 cup melted butter or margarine

Bake in 9 x 13 pan at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Cool.

Blend:
8 ounces cream cheese (I use the 1/3 less fat kind)
8 ounces Cool Whip
1 cup sugar

Spread on cooled crust.

Dissolve:
1 large (6 oz.) jello (any flavor, but strawberry works best)
3 cups boiling water

Add to jello:
2 10 ounce boxes frozen strawberries or canned fruit (strawberries are preferred)

Cool until slightly thickened (though I don’t)
Carefully pour over cream cheese layer
Chill several hours until firm.
