Pretzel Jell-O

2 C pretzels
1 C + 2 tbs sugar
3/4 C melted butter
1 med size cool whip
1 8 oz cream cheese
1 6 ox. strawberry jello
1 sm. can (8 oz) crushed pinapple
2 (10 oz) cut up strawberries (frozen bags work best)

1st layer: 2 C finely crushed pretzels, 2 tbs sugar, 3/4 cup melted butter. Mix together and spread onto 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 in preheated oven for 7 minutes.

2nd layer: 1 cup sugar, 1 med size cool whip, 1 8 ox cream cheese. Soften cheese, mix sugar and cream cheese together... fold in cool whip, spread on cooled first layer.

3rd layer: 6 oz package strawberry jell-p, 1 small can 8 oz. crushed pineapple (drained) 2 cups boiling water 10 oz packages of frozen cut up strawberries...

Dissolve jello-o in boiling water. Add drained pineapple and frozen strawberries. Stir and cool until set. (not hard, but thick...) pour gently over second layer -- refrigerate overnight.

I personally used 1 14 oz bag of frozen strawberries when I made it... also I recommend making layer 1 first... making layer 3 second.. and while 3 is almost a gelled consistency I begin layer 2, spread that on.. and layer 3 is ready to be poured on.

And there you have it... the NOT so low cal/low fat Pretzel Jell-O!!! =o) Hope you enjoy!
