Pretzel Salad

So I'm not really sure why this is called pretzel salad because it's not a salad... But it doesn't matter because it is really good! I made this for our Christmas lunch and I had to take a picture of it quick because it was going fast. It's very good and simple to make. Here's the recipe!

Crust:
1 cup crushed pretzels
1 cup broken pecans
3 tablespoons of sugar
1 stick of butter

Melt butter, mix with pretzels, sugar and pecans. Pat in bottom of pan, bake 10 minutes at 350. Take out and let it cool.

Middle white layer:
8 oz. cream cheese
8 oz. cool whip
1 cup powdered sugar

Beat cream cheese, cool whip and powdered sugar together. Spread on top of pretzel crust. Place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Strawberry top layer:
1 large box of strawberry jello
16 oz. frozen sliced strawberries
2 cups of boiling water

Dissolve jello in boiling water and add frozen strawberries. Stir until jello begins to thicken and strawberries begin to thaw and separate. Pour over middle white layer and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cover with cool whip if desired!

It's so easy and tastes so good, it's the greatest recipe for a last minute dessert idea!
