Mix the wet/dry ingredients together until well incorporated.

In a 9 x 13 pan, place the mixture and pat it smooth into the pan. I usually wet my hands with plain water to get it patted into the pan. Bake the crust mixture for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Allow the crust to cool.

While the crust is baking, remove 12 ounces of cream cheese from your refrigerator and allow it to soften to room temperature, in a small mixing bowl.

Add to the cream cheese: 1 T vanilla and 1 T sugar.

Mix together this mixture until it is smooth ( it should be soft, like a creamy frosting)

Spread this mixture over the cooled crust.

Cut strawberries into small pieces (or other fruit or combination of fruits). Place fruit on top of cream cheese layer and press down slightly. Cut into squares. Can be eaten right away or placed in refrigertor until needed.
