--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2 1/4  cups          all-purpose flour
   2      tablespoons   sugar
     3/4  cup           butter or margarine -- softened
                        Filling:
   8      ounces        cream cheese -- softened
   1      cup           confectioners' sugar
   1      teaspoon      vanilla extract
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
   2      cups          whipped topping
                        Topping:
   6      ounces        raspberry gelatin powder
   2      cups          boiling water
   2      10 oz pkgs    sweetened frozen raspberries
                        additional whipped topping and fresh mint -- optional

In a bowl, combine flour and sugar; blend in butter with a wooden spoon until
smooth.  Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan.  Bake at
300 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until set (crust will not brown).  Cool.  In
a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt
until smooth.  Fold in whipped topping.  Spread over crust.  For topping,
dissolve gelatin in boiling water; stir in raspberries. Chill for 20 minutes
or until mixture begins to thicken.  Spoon over filling.  Refrigerate until
set.  Cut into squares; garnish with whipped topping and mint if desired.
Yield:  12-16 servings.

NOTES : "I knew this cool, fruity and creamy dessert was a winner the first
time I tasted it.  I confirmed that fact a few summers ago when I entered the
recipe in a contest at work-it won first place. Co-workers still call to
request it." Submitted by Mary Olson, Albany, Oregon.
