Cherry Delight Recipe

 This is a family favorite in the Cox household, "Cherry Delight" or "Cherry Jubilee." It happened to be what Ben Todd wanted instead of a traditional birthday cake for his family soiree; so, I decided to share the recipe. Enjoy!

You'll need:

1 can of cherry pie filling

2 cups self rising flour

2 sticks of butter or margarine

1 cup chopped pecans

1 (8oz) cream cheese

1 box of powdered sugar

1 large container of Cool Whip

Cut flour into melted butter and mix. Press mixture into 13 x 9 pan, then gently press pecans into mixture. Bake 10-12 minutes/till edges are brown at 350. Cool thoroughly.

Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar (works best if you left cream cheese soften first). Mix; fold in cool whip gradually.

Spread mixture over crust, top with cherries, let chill.

 

Voila! Happy 29th Birthday Ben Todd!
