Fabulous is all I can say for this quick and easy dessert that is perfect when fresh strawberries are abundant. I used the 5 cups of strawberries as indicated, but only used a 14 oz. bag of the strawberry glaze. Used 15 twinkies to nicely fit the bottom of my 9x13 tupperware container. I felt an 8 oz. Cool-whip was the perfect amount as listed. If you have a sweet-tooth, this would be the dessert for you!!! Made for the Strawberry event in KK's forum~

Awesome recipe! I made this today for a picnic, and there was nothing left. It was so easy. I have another picnic tomorrow and am making another pan to bring there. This is going to be my new favorite dessert for holidays and parties.
