2 T milk
1 c cool whip
2 c boiling water
1 pkg (6 oz) strawberry Jello
1 1/2 c cold water
1 qt (4 c) fresh strawberries, sliced

Heat oven to 350. Mix pretzel crumbs, 1/4 c sugar and butter press into bottom of 13x9 pan. Bake for 10 mins and cool.

Beat cream cheese, remaining sugar, and milk til well blended. Stir in cool whip. Spread over crust. Refridgerate.

Add boiling water into jello mix in large bowl; stir 2 min until dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hrs or until thickened. Stir in strawberries; spoon over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 3 hrs or til firm.
