- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 2 cups strawberries, sliced
- 1 cup strawberry Jell-O

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Yes, we’re going to get a little toasty in here!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and 1/2 cup of sugar. This mixture will form the crust of your masterpiece.
- Press the pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes and then let it cool down because no one likes a hot mess.
- For the creamy layer, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Then fold in the whipped topping. It should be as smooth as a jazz solo!
- Spread this delicious cream cheese concoction over the cooled pretzel crust. Don’t be shy—get every nook and cranny!
- In another bowl, dissolve the strawberry Jell-O in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir until completely dissolved, feeling like a mad scientist.
- Once cooled slightly, add the sliced strawberries and pour over the cream cheese layer. It’s starting to look like a summer party!
- Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you’re feeling a bit patient. Trust us, it’s worth the wait!
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh strawberries for that extra pop of color.
