Red Raspberry Dessert

Brooke the Cook in WI's Note:

My Grandma made this pretty layered dessert for Easter dinner this year and it was great! She cut it from a magazine - I can't believe it isn't posted yet! I haven't made it so I'm not certain on time start to finish, if you get to it before me, let me know!

• Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins

• ½ cup milk

7. Top with crushed candy bars and crackers.

This was pretty tasty. I had to make a few changes based on ingredients on hand. I used sugar free jello and I only had a few small butterfingers instead of large ones. Oh and I used french vanilla marshmallows. What came out was a tasty dessert. I will make this again just as written - as I would have loved more butterfinger.

I ask you, what is not to like about a recipe that includes butterfingers candy! This was eaten very, very quickly, so had no chance to photo it! I guess I will have to make again! Thnx for sharing your delicious recipe, Brooke. Made for PRMR Holiday Special 2009.
