Strawberry Pretzel Salad

This is one of my favorite easy-to-make-gluten-free recipe. I have made it once or twice with a friend who eats gf, but this time I made it for my gf new sister! She's coming over for dinner tomorrow night and I can't wait for dessert! {pictures coming tomorrow}

2. Stir together crushed pretzels, melted butter and 3 tablespoons sugar; mix well and press mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until set. Set aside to cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl cream together cream cheese and 1 cup sugar. Fold in whipped topping. Spread mixture onto cooled crust.

Gluten Free: Use gf pretzels instead of regular ones. You can find them in the organic or gluten free section in almost any store. An easy and quick fix that tastes just as good and accommodates your gf friends and family! :)
