Strawberry Pretzel Salad

I know that Laura requested that I post this recipe. Like I said on the post about celebrating Taylor's birthday, this was his cake. We both love it. I took it for my breakfast for the next few days after I made it because I could not just throw a lot of it away if we didn't eat it all. I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as my family does!

2 cups pretzels, crushed
