We loved the combination of jello flavors and fruit, and mixing cream cheese and Cool Whip made such a great topping!! I did leave out the nuts, though. The only thing I'll do differently next time is to make twice as much of the jello base since there was a lot of topping. It's always great to find a new and light snack/dessert recipe. THX.
