For a richer flavor, use salted butter in the pretzel crust. If you prefer fresh strawberries, you can substitute them for frozen. Increase the setting time of the Jell-O mixture if using fresh fruit. To prevent the pretzel crust from becoming soggy, make sure it is completely cooled before adding the cream cheese layer. Garnish with extra fresh strawberries or a sprinkle of crushed pretzels for added visual appeal.
