For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the pretzel crust. Make sure the pretzel crust is completely cooled before adding the cream cheese layer to prevent it from melting. If you're short on time, you can use fresh strawberries instead of frozen, but frozen ones give a better color and texture to the Jell-O. To easily crush the pretzels, place them in a large zip-top bag and use a rolling pin or meat mallet.
