- Transfer the green mixture into the baking dish, over the cream cheese layer and spread out evenly. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the strawberries into the strawberry jell-o and then pour over the green jell-o layer and spread out evenly. Chill until firm, about 1-2 hours.
- Cut into bars and serve with a dollop of whipped topping and sprinkles.
