Make the crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix crushed pretzels, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

 Prepare the filling: In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread evenly over cooled pretzel crust.

 Make the topping: In a saucepan, combine sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy (about 5 minutes). Let cool slightly.

 Pour the strawberry mixture over the cream cheese layer.

 Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set. Slice and serve!
