Strawberry Pretzel Salad

This is one of my all time favorite dishes. The salty sweet combination is so yummy. I could eat this every day.

3/4 cup butter, softened
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 1/2 cups crushed pretzels
1 (6 oz) package strawberry Jell-o
2 cups boiling water
3 cups strawberries, sliced and chilled
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese
1 cup white sugar
1 (8 oz) container Cool Whip, thawed

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter with brown sugar. Mix in pretzels and press into a 9 x 13 pan. Bake 10-12 minutes. Set aside to cool. In a medium bowl, dissolve Jell-o in boiling water and stir in strawberries. Chill until partially thickened. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and white sugar together until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip. Spread mixture over top of cooled crust (seal edges). Chill then pour Jell-o mixture over cream cheese layer. Chill until firm.
