Happy Wednesday {{{PW}}} A Sweet recipe.....>

Have a wonderful day :o)
*HUGS*
I've been bad and haven't posted a recipe in a few weeks.
I apologise and hope it won't happen again :o) So here is a recipe for the sweet tooth.
1 package (19.8 ounces) brownie mix, batter prepared according to package directions
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 can (20 ounces) cherry pie filling
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the prepared batter evenly over the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the
centre comes out clean, let cool. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese,
confectioners' sugar, and whipped topping until smooth.
With a wet table knife, spread the mixture evenly over the brownie pizza,
then spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over that.
Cut and serve immediately, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
Note: Just before serving, how 'bout topping each slice with an extra dollop of whipped topping?
Mmm! ENJOY!!
That's It!! Good Luck and Bon Appetite!
