Pretzel Salad

This is another oldie but goodie! This makes a sweet-salty dessert or salad. Great for a potluck or picnic. It will look like you've spent hours putting it together, when you really watched Ellen between steps.

2 cups crushed pretzels
½ cup sugar
¾ cup melted butter
Mix together and spread in 13x9 pan. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Cool.

8 oz. pkg. cream cheese
½ cup sugar
12 oz. tub Cool Whip
Combine and spread on cooled pretzel mix. Refrigerate.

6 oz. pkg strawberry jello
2 cups boiling water
10 oz. pkg. frozen strawberries, thawed, with juice
Dissolve Jello in water and add berries. Put in freezer for ten minutes to partially set. Spread over cream cheese mixture and refrigerate overnight.
