Strawberry Margarita Squares-Thanks Windy Poplars =)

Hey bloggers!  
I have been thinking of adding another page to display recipes to share or posting some yummy ones that I think are good ones to share.  

For this one, head on over to kristins-kitchen for this yummy summer inspired recipe and others!

Strawberry Margarita Squares
This was a delicious summer recipe that I found in Kraft Food and Family Magazine. Super easy, and it makes a 9x13 pan, so it feeds a crowd! Here's the recipe, plus my notes...

1 1/4 cups crushed pretzels (I used honey wheat)
1/4 cup melted butter (I used Smart Balance Light)
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk (I used low fat)
1 cup pureed strawberries (I used part strawberries, part raspberries)
1/2 cup lime juice
1 carton (8oz) whipped cream (I used a squirt container of real cream/no hfcs)

Combine butter and pretzels in a 13x9 pan. Press firmly into bottom of pan to create a crust. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

Combine milk, strawberries, and lime juice in a large bowl. Mix well. Add whipped cream, and fold until smooth. Pour over crust. Freeze at least 6 hours or overnight.

Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra whipped cream and berries if desired. 12 servings-or more!

Doesn't that look just yummy?!?
