12 Vanilla Wafers
2 8-oz. Packages of Cream Cheese
½ cup sugar

Pour cream cheese mixture over vanilla wafers, filling each cup ¾ full. Bake in 350 degree oven for 25 minutes. Cool and remove cheesecakes from pan. Top with your favorite pie filling ( cherry and blueberry are both good). Refrigerate. Makes 12.
1 cup Miracle Whip Salad Dressing
½ cup Sugar
¼ cup lemon juice or cider vinegar
Blend well.
This dressing is good for coleslaw, broccoli-cauliflower salad, potato salad, etc. I usually use lemon juice when I make it for anything except potato salad. When I make it for potato salad, I use the vinegar, leave out the sugar and add a teaspoon of mustard.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven; top warm cake evenly with marshmallows. Return to oven and bake for 5 minutes. Drizzle Chocolate Frosting over warm cake. Cool completely.
