I love this salad -- it takes a while to make but it's worth it. It's a interesting combination of ingredients.

• 1 1/2 cubes of Butter(salted)
• 1 1/4 c Sugar
• 1 lg pkg. Frozen Strawberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Crush pretzels to measure 2 2/3 cups.
Melt butter and mix with crushed pretzels. Place in 9x13 casserole pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cream sugar and cream cheese. Completely cool pan before spreading cream cheese/sugar mixture on top of baked pretzels. Spread cool whip over cream cheese and chill. Heat pineapple juice to a boil and add jello. Add frozen strawberries and allow to chill until just before jello is set -- it needs to be somewhat pourable. Pour over cream cheese and cool whip and let set. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
