Directions
Cherry Cheese Bars, I ripped this recipe from a magazine a long time ago. I made it many times and it always turned out delicious as well as beautiful. Since then, I misplaced my box of recipes torn from magazines until the other day. I had previously tried to find this recipe on Zaar, but couldn’t so I was happy to find the clipping so now I can share the recipe with all of you. Since the layers are baked separately, the cook time and the prep time overlap somewhat. Prep time does not include refrigeration time. I have used low-fat cream cheese and it turns out just as good. Enjoy!, This turned out dry. I thought there were too many nuts also., Wow! A neighbor gave me this recipe over 20 years ago. I’ve been making it every year since. It’s always a hit. use full butter, no shortening.
