This is a big time favorite for get together family meals. Gma is always asked to bring this one & its gone before you can blink! The only way you have any left overs to enjoy when no one is looking is if you sneak them before the crowd hits the kitchen!! Definitely a kids favorite too. I know there are those who have issues with the strawberries, and sometimes you just don't have fresh ones around, in which case, make it w/o them & enjoy!!
2 c finely crushed pretzels
1/2 c sugar, divided
2/3 c butter, melted
12oz (1 1/2 8oz pkgs) Cream Cheese, softened
2 Tbs milk
1 c thawed Cool Whip
2 c boiling water
1 pkg (8 serving size) Strawberry flavored gelatin (like Jello)
1 1/2 c cold water

Stir boiling water into gelatin in lg bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hrs or until thickened (spoon drug through leaves a definite impression)
