Dessert / Jello: Strawberry Pretzel Jello Dessert

From Mary Carey (originally from Mary Ann Roers, Tracy’s 1st babysitter in S.D.)
When Tracy was born, we had a wonderful couple nearby with 3 kids about the same age as ours. Mary Ann helped me really enjoy South Dakota. They were actually from a bordering city in Minn. Jim, I, Joe, Doug and Kathy had someplace to go and Mary Ann and her kids offered to watch Tracy as a baby. So, she was Tracy's first babysitter!!

Ingredients
1 ½ cups crushed pretzels
½ cup sugar
½ cup butter
8 oz. cream cheese
1 Large carton of Cool Whip (BUT not the biggest)
½ cup sugar
2 (3.4 oz) packages strawberry Jell-O
2 (10 oz) packages frozen sweetened strawberries

Directions
Mix together and put in 9 x 13 baking pan and bake 6 minutes at 325 degrees. Cool.

Combine cream cheese, Cool Whip and ½ cup sugar until fluffy. Spread over cooled pretzels. Refrigerate while making topping.

For the topping, combine strawberry Jell-o packages with 2 cups of boiling water. Instead of cold water, add 2 (10 oz) packages of frozen strawberries (semi-thawed). Pour over second layer and refrigerate until set.
