BERRIED DELIGHT 
1 1/2 c. cracker crumbs
1/4 c. sugar
1/3 c. butter, melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1/4 c. milk

Or use 1 package (6 servings size) instant pudding and 2 1/2 cups cold milk.

3 1/2 c. Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed
2 pt. strawberries, hulled and halved
2 pkg. (4 oz.) Jello vanilla flavor instant pudding
3 1/2 c. cold milk

Combine crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and melted butter. Press firmly into bottom of a 13 x 9 inch pan. Chill.

Beat cream cheese with 1/4 sugar and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping. Spread over crust. Arrange strawberries in even layer.

Using 3 1/2 cups cold milk, prepare pudding as directed on the package. Pour over berries. Chill several hours or overnight.

Shortly before serving, spread remaining whipped topping over pudding. Garnish with additional strawberries, if desired; chill. Makes 15 servings.

For other exciting flavor combinations, use 3 bananas sliced, or 4 cups fresh peaches or 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained.
