strawberry/banana pretzel squares

I tried this recipe this past weekend and it was a huge HIT!!

what you'll need

2 cups of finely crushed pretzels
1/2 cup of sugar, divided
2/3 cup of butter or margarine, melted
1 and 1/2 package of cream cheese
2 tablespoons of milk
1 cup of whipped topping
2 cups of boiling water
1 package of strawberry/banana gelatin
1 and 1/2 cups of cold water
4 cups of strawberries, sliced
3 bananas, sliced

To make it:
Heat oven to 350, mix pretzel crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar, and melted butter. Press onto bottom of 13x9 inch pan, bake for ten minutes, let cool.
Beat cream cheese, remaining sugar and milk until blended. Stir in whipped topping, spread over crust. Refrigerate.
Add boiling water to gelatin mix in a large bowl, stir two minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate 1 1/2 hours or until thickened. Stir in strawberries and bananas. Spoon over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate about three hours or until firm.

This is a super easy recipe that you and your family will love. You can serve it plain right out of the pan or with a dab of whipped topping. Have fun and great cooking and baking.
