I've seen this salad at a few different "potlucks" that I've been to but it's always gone before I had a chance to try it myself. But I saw this recipe in a magazine the other day so I made it for my family....it was GONE in less than a day!! It was so good that I thought YOU might want to try it too!!

•2 cups crushed pretzel sticks
•3/4 cup melted butter
•3 tbsp. sugar
•8 oz. cream cheese softened
•1 cup sugar
•8 oz. Cool Whip
•1 (6oz.) pkg. stawberry Jello
•2 cups boiling water
•3 cups fresh strawberries or 2-10 oz. pkgs. frozen strawberries

1.Mix first three ingredients and press in bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Let cool completely.

2.Beat sugar, cream cheese, and Cool Whip in a medium size bowl (I sometimes double this part if I am feeding more people). Spread over pretzel crust.

3.Mix Jello and boiling water until dissolved. Add strawberries. Pour over cheese mixture. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
