Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Melt butter in 9 x 13-inch pan in oven. Remove from oven and stir in pretzel crumbs and 3 tablespoons sugar. Spread evenly in pan. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and cool completely. Beat cream cheese and sugar. Stir in whipped topping. Spoon onto cooled pretzel crust. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in defrosted strawberries and juice.
