this is for Pauline in PA. I make this for just about every holiday my family loves it.

Strawberry Jell-O Pretzel Dessert

3/4 cup margarine (melted)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
3 cups pretzels (crushed)
1 (6 ounce) box strawberry Jell-O
2 cups boiling water
8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip (thawed)
3 cups sliced strawberries fresh or frozen

NOTE* If I use frozen strawberries, I thaw them and reserve the juice. When it comes time to mix the Jell-O with the 2 cups water, I add enough water to the juice to make 2 cups then bring it to a boil and mix it with the Jell-O gelatin.

Preheat oven to 350. Mix crushed pretzels, margarine and brown sugar and press into 13" x 9" pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Mix cream cheese and sugar until well combined. Fold in cool whip. Spread over cooled crust. Place into refrigerator. Mix 2 cups boiling water with Jell-O until dissolved. Add strawberries. Chill until Jell-O begins to set. Pour over cream cheese/cool whip. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Hope this helps. Also for Diana who was looking for the Ice Cream Cake using ice cream sandwiches, go to the Kraft Foods website. A detailed recipe and assembly instructions can be found there.
