  • 1 package strawberry Jell-O
  • 1 lb sliced fresh strawberriesstraw-pretz

  • What You’ll Do:Put the pretzels in a large plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you have pretzel crumbs. It’s nice to leave some a little chunky for added crunch. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in ¼ cup sugar, and then the pretzels. Mix it all up! Press the sweet buttery pretzel bits into an 8”x 8” baking dish, or into a pie plate. Set aside.In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, ½ cup sugar, and cool whip. Use a beater to whip it up until it’s fluffy. Spread it over the pretzel base in an even layer. Set aside.In a saucepan, heat the water and then stir in the strawberry Jell-O until dissolved. Remove the Jell-O from the heat and stir in the strawberries. Very gently, pour the strawberries and Jell-O over the cream cheese layer. Try to scatter the berries evenly. Freeze for 2-3 hours.

    Serve in slices and enjoy it with people you love.
