Strawberry Pretzel Salad

I had this for the first time years ago at a work party. I got the recipe and make it often. It is a nice dessert for any occasion. It is not to sweet nor too salty. You will enjoy this.

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

Bottom layer:
1 8 oz cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 8 oz container frozen whipped topping (thawed)

Topping:
2  3 oz pks. strawberry jello
2 cups boiling water
2 pks. frozen strawberries


Stir together the pretzels,butter and 3 tablespoons sugar. Press into a 9x13 baking dish. Bake 8 to 10 minutes on 400 and let cool.In a large bowl mix the cream cheese, sugar and whipped topping together. Spread on top of the pretzel mixture.  Dissolve the jello in the boiling water. Stir in frozen strawberries and allow to set briefly. When mixture is about the consistency of egg whites pour over the cream cheese mixture and refrigerate until set..
