Strawberry Pretzel Surprise

Why I Love This Recipe
A crisp salty pretzel crust complements the creamy marshmallow-fluff-like "white" layer, with a tangy topping of strawberries in gelatin. Much like a strawberry cheesecake, but with the surprise of pretzels!
For best results, make Strawberry Pretzel surprise no more than one day in advance, to preserve the crunchy texture of the pretzels.
