Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

2 cups crushed pretzels

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Filling:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or flavored yogurt of your choice)

½ cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (or thawed frozen strawberries)

For the Topping:

1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

¼ cup granulated sugar (for syrup)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the crushed pretzels, melted butter, and ¼ cup granulated sugar until the mixture is evenly moistened.

        - Transfer the pretzel mixture into a 9x9 inch baking pan and press it down firmly to create an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crust turns lightly golden. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.

          Make the Filling:

            - In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

              - Gently fold in the diced strawberries, being careful to distribute them evenly without breaking them apart too much.

                Assemble the Squares:

                  - After the pretzel crust has cooled, spread the yogurt filling evenly over the crust, using a spatula to smooth the top.

                    - Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Let it freeze for at least 4 hours or until completely solid.

                      Prepare the Strawberry Topping:

                        - While the filling is setting, create a quick strawberry syrup. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the sliced strawberries, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries release their juices and the sugar fully dissolves. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.

                          Serve:

                            - Once the yogurt squares are fully frozen, take them out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier.

                              - Cut the dessert into squares and drizzle each piece generously with the homemade strawberry syrup. Serve immediately to enjoy the refreshing taste of your Strawberry Pretzel Dream Squares!
