How to Easily Cut Into Squares:
Place dessert in freezer about 1 hour before cutting into squares to serve.

I made this for Mother's Day and everyone seemed to like it. I got the recipe from Kraftfoods.com. Check out their site for a pretty picture of the dessert. I tried to cut a few calories by using low fat Oreos, light cream cheese and light Cool Whip, and it was still pretty tasty.
