Combine & press into 9X13 pan & bake @ 400 for 10 min. Cool.

Second Layer: 1- 8 oz. regular cream cheese-softened,
1- 8 oz. Cool Whip (OR 8 oz. whipping

Add cream cheese into whipped topping or cream & spread
over cooled crust.
Third Layer: 1 C. boiling water - add 1- 6 oz. cranberry jello plus 1/4 C. strawberry or cranberry jello & 1/2 C. sugar - dissolve. Rinse 1 - 1lb. bag cranberries & pick out any bad ones.
