Instructions

Pulse pretzels in a food processor until fine crumbs form, leaving some small pieces for texture, or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
In a medium bowl, mix crushed pretzels, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly coated.
Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish using a measuring cup or fingers.
Refrigerate the crust for 25 minutes or freeze for 10-25 minutes until firm.

Notes

Ensure that the butter is softened to mix easily with the pretzel crumbs.
For a sweeter filling, adjust the powdered sugar according to your taste.
Fresh strawberries add the best flavor; avoid frozen ones for this recipe.
