Here is the recipe for the jello dessert that Nikki Waller made for the New Member BBQ:

Crust:
3/4 c butter, crushed
3/4 c broken up pretzels
3T sugar
Mix and press into a 9/13 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. Let cool.

Middle:
8 oz of softened cream cheese
8 oz of softened whip cream
1 cup sugar
Mix well and spread over the pretzel layer. Be sure to completely cover the crust so that the next layer does not seep into the crust.

Topping:

1 pkg frozen strawberries-do not drain
Mix Jello with water and dissolve completely. Add strawberries. Let cool to room temperature. Pour over cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate for a couple of hours prior to serving.
