Creamy Strawberry Lemon Squares

This is a Kraft recipe that I made for New Year's Eve. Everyone who had some seemed to really like it!

Ingredients:
1-1/2 c Honey Maid honey graham crumbs or finely crushed Nabisco Grahams, about 21 squares (Meijer Low Fat Honey Graham crackers, 7 crackers)
1/2 c sugar, divided
6 T butter or margarine, softened (Imperial 1/3 less fat)
2 pkg (8 oz each) Philadelphia cream cheese, softened (1/3 less fat)
2 c cold milk, divided (1/2%)
2 pkg (4-serving size each) Jell-O lemon flavor instant pudding & pie filling
1 tub (8 oz) cool whip strawberry whipped topping, thawed (Cool Whip Dips Strawberry Creme)

Directions:
Mix graham crumbs, 1/4 cup of sugar and butter until well blended. Press firmly onto bottom of 13x9" baking pan to form crust. Set aside.

Beat cream cheese, remaining 1/4 c sugar and 1/4 c of the milk in medium bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Spread over crust.

Pour remaining 2-3/4 c milk into large bowl. Add pudding mixes. Beat with sire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. Pour over cream cheese layer in pan. Let stand 5 minutes or until thickened. Cover with whipped topping. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Cut into 24 squares to serve. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.

Rating:
Kristen: 3 or 3.5. I think I would like it better with a different flavor than lemon, but I'm not sure what flavor. Chocolate might be good!!
