Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, combine pretzels, butter and sugar; spread onto a baking sheet. Bake until crisp and lightly browned, 12-15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack; break into small pieces.
For filling, in a small bowl, beat whipped topping, cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Refrigerate until chilled.
For topping, in a large bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in sweetened strawberries; chill until partially set, about 1 hour. Carefully layer pretzel mixture, filling and topping into 4-oz. glass jars. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours. If desired, serve with additional whipped topping and pretzels.

I made this for a family bbq and it is incredible! It’s also a really flexible recipe: instead of sweetened frozen strawberries I used fresh, sliced strawberries that I sprinkled liberally with sugar, and I used powdered sugar instead of regular sugar in the cream cheese mixture (I didn’t measure - just added it to taste). I also followed a previous poster’s advice and layered this in a 9x13 baking dish to save myself the busywork and dishes. It was a huge hit with kids and adults alike! Now I know what I’ll be bringing to future potlucks. Thanks for the great recipe!

In place of the pretzel crust I have used graham cracker crumbs or Oreo crumb mixture.
Kelly; in the directions it's mentioned that 4 oz jars where used. Easier to layer the filling by using the wide mouth jars.
I like doing the individual 4 oz. jars. I have also switched out the pkgs, of frozen berries for the canned pie filling.
I haven't done so, but I'm sure you could also layer this in a nice glass bowl or glass cake pan if you wanted. to.
For a bit of extra flavor, I have added almond extract to the whipped topping / cream cheese mixture.

Tried the recipe as printed, then did a change to raspberries and french vanilla pudding. We liked that better.
