2 1/2 cups crushed pretzels |
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar |
3/4 cup melted butter |
filling |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed |
topping |
1 (6 ounce) package strawberry flavored jell-o® mix |
1 1/2 cups boiling water |
1 (16 ounce) package frozen strawberries |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
