Packed with fruit, nuts and vanilla chips, these are always a treat. To vary the flavor, swap in dried cranberries or apricots for the cherries, and pistachios for the pecans. -Mary Ann Mariotti, Plainfield, Illinois

These Cherry Pecan Dreams were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably make them again, but I'll use less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cherries, but I loved these dreams. The pecans and cream cheese filling were the perfect complement to the cherries.

These dreams were easy to make and turned out beautifully. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of cherry. I used fresh cherries, and they were a bit too tart for my taste.

These dreams were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the crust next time.
