YONR #15: Gelatin Dessert Squares

Here is a pretty (yet small) picture of this dessert.  Mine isn't going to come out as perfect so I thought this might be more appealing and one you'd want to make!

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 (8 ounce) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 (3 ounce) packages raspberry gelatin
2 cups boiling water
2 cups cold water


Directions
1.In a bowl, combine the flour, pecans and brown sugar; stir in butter. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-13 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.

2.In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth; fold in whipped topping. Spread over crust. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3.In a bowl, dissolve gelatin in boiling water; stir in cold water. Spoon over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate until firm. Cut into squares.

Here is a picture of the one I made....I told you it wasn't as pretty or perfect!
