Raspberry Dessert Squares Recipe

October 3, 2012 Leave a Comment

I have made the Raspberry Dessert Squares 10 times or more when I was living in Albany, New York (1988). The only thing I would change now would be the chocolate wafer cookies.  Because in 2011, if you buy the wafer cookies they would cost $5.00, and you only get 15 or 20 cookies in a pack.  So I would buy the Little Teddy Bears cookies for $3.75, and you get a WHOLE box.
