In honor of Easter Sunday, I am posting my mom's famous dessert she makes every year. 

DISCLAIMER: Please read entire section of directions before proceeding to measure out ingredients or mix anything.

2 cups crushed pretzels, strained
3/4 cup of melted butter
1 cup sugar, plus 4 tbsp of sugar

1 (8oz) package of cream cheese
2 cups of Cool Whip

1 (6oz) package of strawberry Jello

1 package of frozen strawberries (16 oz)

Bottom Layer: Place pretzels in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Strain. The pretzels should measure 2 cups after crushing. Mix pretzels with melted butter and 4 tbsp of sugar; press in bottom of glass dish (13x9x2 inch). Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes. Cool.

Center Layer: Mix cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar. Add 2 cups of Cool Whip. Beat until smooth and spread over pretzel base.

Top Layer: Mix package of strawberry Jello, using 2 cups of boiling water and 1 pint of frozen strawberries (partially thawed). Let this set until thick enough to pour over center layer. Chill thoroughly before serving.
