Very refreshing for grad parties and summer picnics. When using fresh strawberries in the summer is great!

I made this receipe but instead of using Pretzels, I used a graham cracker crest. I crushed 2 cups and added the sugar and butter. It came out great.

I used Oreo for the crust. It was so light and refreshing that my husband requested I make it again. Also a big hit at the family party! Thank you!
