I’ve been on a real cherry-kick lately!  Mmmm…. I love how bold, flavorful, and summery they are.  You know what else I love?  An easy dessert.  And, THIS recipe for Cherries and Cream Dessert Squares is exactly that.  I’ve been trying to condense my cookbook cupboard.  It’s totally overflowing and the shelves are about to fall.  It’s hard to get rid of any cookbooks without skimming through each one for potential great recipes.  I had this honkin Pillsbury cookbook, taking up more than it’s fair share of space.  And, luckily I found this little gem and several more in there, before I let it go.  I changed the amounts on several things to suit me.  Like, I love an extra thick graham cracker crust, so… more crust.  My cherries weren’t spreading across the whole pan, so more cherries.  My bag of marshmallows overflowed into the bowl, so extra marshmallows.  Things like that, but all good things!  Oh, and the cherry on top?  These things require no baking.  Suh-weet!

    These look so good, and I’m not a huge cherry fan unless they’re straight from the tree!:) Going to have to give them a try!
