Strawberry Pretzel Salad

I am not sure why this is called a salad, it tastes more like a dessert, which makes it a GREAT salad :)

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

2 cup pretzels - crushed
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup butter
8 oz cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 tub cool whip
2 package jello strawberry
2 1/2 cup water - boiling
16 oz strawberries - sweetened - thawed

Melt butter, mix with pretzels, 1/3 cup sugar; press into glass 9x13" pan, bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Mix cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and cool whip with mixer, spread over cooled pretzel layer. Mix jello with boiling water, add strawberries. Cool in fridge until thickened (at least 2 hours), pour over cream cheese layer. Let set in fridge.
