Mason Jar Cherry and Graham Cracker Crust Supreme
Description
This is an old school recipe that has been updated a bit. Each serving is in its own little mason jar which makes it special.

1 1/4 c. graham cracker crumbs
3 T. sugar
pinch of salt
1/3 c. unsalted butter, melted
1 bag Dream Whip (There are 2 bags in a box, but just use 1)

1 t. vanilla
8 oz. block cream cheese, softened
1 c. powdered sugar
2- 21 oz. cans cherry pie filling (there might be a bit left over)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Crust:
In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt and melted butter; mix until combined. Divide graham cracker mixture evenly into 8 wide mouth, half pint, 8oz. mason jars (available from Amazon), placing about 1/4 c. into each jar, pressing the crust into the bottom of each jar.
Place the jars onto a baking sheet. Bake about 10 minutes. Allow jars to cool completely.
While jars are cooling, prepare the cream layer.
Cream Layer:
In the bowl of an electric mixer with the whisk attachment, add 1 bag Dream Whip; add milk and vanilla; stir to combine; mix on high for about 4 minutes. Add cream cheese and powdered sugar; mix until silky, shiny and smooth. Place in the refrigerator to chill while jars continue to cool.
Once everything is chilled, evenly divide the Dream Whip mixture among the jars. It's easiest to add the mixture to a large piping bag and then pipe it onto the graham cracker crust in each jar.
Topping:
Top with the cherry pie filling. Screw on the mason jar lids or use plastic wrap to cover tops.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
