How to Make Freds Pretzel Salad

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Crush pretzels into fine crumbs. Combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and ½ cup sugar in a bowl. Mix well.
  3. Press pretzel mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  5. While the crust cools, beat together softened cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar until smooth and creamy.
  6. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until combined.
  7. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled pretzel crust.
  8. In a separate bowl, dissolve the Jell-O in boiling water until completely dissolved.
  9. Stir in the sliced strawberries. Let stand for about 10 minutes to slightly thicken.
  10. Carefully pour the Jell-O mixture over the cream cheese layer.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the Jell-O is fully set.
