STRAWBERRY JELLO PRETZEL DESSERT

Hello Ladies!
This recipe is from cooks.com
These are the changes I made to it:
- I used very thinly sliced fresh strawberries instead of frozen ones. Worked out pretty fine.
- Also, I used those really thick big pretzels instead of the small ones. Figured less salt on the bigger ones for the amount of pretzel powder you get.
- I tried setting it in small cups instead of a pan. Was a lot easier to serve. (Baked layer 1 in a pan and spread the baked stuff in small glass cups and did the other 2 layers on top as usual)

LAYER #1:
2 c. crushed pretzels (grate in food processor)
3/4 c. butter, melted
3 tbsp. sugar
Mix above ingredients into 9 x 13 inch pan. Press flat onto bottom of pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minutes. Let cool.
LAYER #2:
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 c. sugar
8 oz. Cool Whip
Mix together until smooth. Spoon over pretzel layer.
LAYER #3:
2 (3 oz.) pkg. strawberry Jello
2 c. boiling water
2 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen strawberries
Mix strawberry Jello and boiling water together. Add sliced strawberries. Refrigerate for about 1 hour until slightly jelled. Pour carefully over cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate.
