There are a few versions of this recipe out there but a family friend shared this with me in 1979 and I haven't changed it since.

The recipe calls for cherry pie filling but blueberry or raspberry pie filling will work just as well.

This freezes well, too, so you can save some for later!

Although they are called Holiday Squares you certainly don't need a holiday to bake them :)
