Strawberry Pretzel Salad

• 2 cups Crushed Pretzels
• 3 Tablespoons Sugar
• 3/4 cups Margarine, Melted
• 8 ounces, fluid Cream Cheese (Room Temperature)
• 1/2 cups Sugar
• 9 ounces, weight Cool Whip
• 1 package 6 Oz Strawberry Gelatin
• 2 cups Boiling Water
• 2 packages 10 Oz Frozen Strawberries

1. Mix first three ingredients (pretzels, sugar, margarine) and pat into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
2. Bake at 350F for 10 minutes; let cool.
3. Cream softened cream cheese. Beat in sugar and cool whip (I will sometimes use a little extra cool whip). Spread over top of the cooled crust.
4. (Note: Be sure this layer "seals" the entire surface and all the edges of the bottom layer, or the jello will seep through and make the crust soggy).
5. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water (use the 2 cups of water only, do NOT follow any instructions on the box!). Add thawed strawberries, including any juice.
6. Carefully pour on top of the cheese layer.
7. Chill. Cut in squares to serve!
