3 Layer Strawberry Jello With Pretzels

There are a few recipes like this one, but each has something a little different than mine. My family happens to love this recipe the way I make it, so I wanted to share it with all of you. Great dessert for a kid's party. Let the kids help you make this one!

Ingredients
