Strawberry Pretzel Salad

Author: As Easter quickly approaches, I am reminded of this recipe, which must be served at every Hodge family get together (I think it’s a rule). It is also tasty with mandarin oranges and orange jello, but that is just not right, at least according to my husband.
STRAWBERRY PRETZEL JELLO SALAD
2 1/4 c. pretzels
4 tbsp. brown sugar or white sugar
1 1/2 sticks melted butter
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 c. sugar

2 c. boiling water
2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries (or 3 c.)
4 tbsp. brown sugar or white sugar

1 c. sugar

1 (6 oz.) strawberry Jello
2 c. boiling water
2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries (or 3 c.)
CRUST:

Too cute!!! I love it. Colors are great and now I’m hungry for the salad. Pam, you did an excellent job as always and Lanie, you are tooooo funny.
I think that recipe is in the Bible – somewhere! My boys who are now 20 would not touch it until about two Thanksgivings ago. We have Thanksgiving and Easter with our Peachtree City family. What else does everyone serve besides ham??
Deviled eggs are a must for us.
