Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment, including a rolling pin and a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, combine crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well-coated and crumbly. Transfer to the prepared baking dish, pressing into an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool completely.
  3. In another bowl, use a hand mixer to beat softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping. Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the cooled crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, dissolve Jell-O in boiling water. Stir until dissolved, then let cool slightly.
  5. Fold in strawberry slices into the cooled Jell-O mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  6. Pour the Jell-O mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  7. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
