NOTES : Try various flavors of Jell-O; strawberry was suggested; I used cherry. I didn't perfectly mix the Jell-O and Cool Whip so there were colorful "streaks" in the filling.

Nutritional information is based on all information available to me at the time of publication. I now calculate points using the 2001 Weight Watchers information. Verify that your ingredients yield the same results. I usually choose to use light rather than nonfat products. Some items, such as cheddar, I use the normal product as noted, as my preference. Optional ingredients are not included in the calculation of calories or points.
