Strawberry Pretzel Salad...IMGUR normally hates everything I make so this is my last try to participate on here

Edit - RECIPE -

Slice strawberries (or peaches, or raspberries) in quarters, lightly sugar and juice with lemon in a bowl. Set aside in fridge.

2 cups crushed pretzels...not disintegrated but broken up enough to be able pack firmly together, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg, 3/4 cup melted unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon of honey or agave. Add chocolate morsels if you want. Mix, coat tall glass square pan, pack down, bake at 400°f for roughly 9- 11 minutes. Let cool.

Mix 8oz cream cheese with 1/2 cup sugar (a pinch of salt if you please, or not) with a mixer/beater. Mix in 8oz of cool whip or whipped cream and 2 teaspoons of vanilla. I would add a little vanilla bean if I had it. Set aside in fridge. You can also make your own whipped cream, like most people suggest, but I was already going in high and blind.

Add 2 cups boiling water to one large 6oz package or two 3oz packages of preferred (strawberry, peach, raspberry, blueberry whatevs) jello. Let come to room temp. (basically half the amount of water the box calls for)

Pack cream cheese whip mix onto pretzels, arrange drained fruit and press gently into whip mixture, pour drained fruit juice into the jello, stir and pour cooled jello gently all over, not staying in one spot or you'll drill a hole and the jello will seep all up into the crispy pretzels.
Refrigerate for 90 minutes to 2 hours.
