I made this twice. Once for a co-workers b-day and then for my Dad's b-day. I added chocolate chips in the cream cheese mix the second time around. It was loved both ways.

A variation of this recipe was in a coupon flyer in 1989 advertising Kraft food products. My Mother made it and I was in love from the first bite. I baked it for some friends and now it is the most requested dessert. It is easy but it looks as if you really went out of your way.
