Luscious Lemon-Raspberry Bars

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 package Supreme dessert bar mix

lemon bars

1/2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese -- softened

1/4 cup raspberry preserves

Powdered sugar

Heat oven to 350º. Prepare filling and crust as directed in steps 1 and 2 of bar mix-except bake crust 12 minutes.

Drop cream cheese by spoonfuls onto hot crust and return pan to oven about 2 minutes to further soften cream cheese. Carefully spread cream cheese over crust. Stir filling mixture; pour over cream cheese.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until top begins to brown and center is set. Cool 10 minutes. Spread preserves over top. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cut into 4 rows by 4 rows. For easier cutting, use sharp or wet knife. Store covered in refrigerator.
