Strawberry Pretzel Salad

This is an oldie but a goodie. I've seen many variations so don't be afraid to experiment a bit! The combination of the salt and sweet is really nice!

2 cups crushed pretzel sticks
1/2 cup margarine or butter
8 oz cream cheese
1 cup sugar
4 Tbs mayonnaise
8 oz whipped topping (e.g. Cool Whip)
12 oz strawberry Jello
20 oz frozen strawberries

Mix the crushed pretzels with the margarine or butter. Press into a 9x13 pan and bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Let cool. Meanwhile, cream the softened cream cheese with sugar and mayonnaise, then fold in the whipped topping. Spread this over the cooled pretzels. Dissolve the Jello in 2 cups of hot water and add the frozen strawberries. Stir, and then let set slightly. Pour over the cream cheese mixture. Chill and serve.
