Cherry Delight

By: Judy Tanguay

This is what my husband Steve always brings to potlucks at his work if he has to bring a dessert. It also makes a good Valentine Day treat because of the cherries.

Crust:

1 c. chopped pecans

1 c. flour

1/2 c. margarine

1 Tbsp. sugar

Topping:

2 c. powdered sugar

1 (8oz) pkg. cream cheese, very soft

1 (16oz) tub Cool Whip

2 cans cherry pie filling

In a 13x9 pan, mix pecans, flour, margarine and sugar until crumbly. (I use a pastry blender) Press down in pan to form crust.

Bake at 325 for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar, cream cheese and Cool Whip until completely smooth. Spread over cooled crust. Let set in fridge at least 1/2 hour or more. Pour cherry pie filling over top, spread and refrigerate.
