DIABETIC-FRIENDLY EASY STRAWBERRY CREAM SQUARES image

The original recipe is an recipe from 'Pillsbury'...I have made it a "Diabetic-Friendly" recipe by making a few changes to the ingredients...however, I don't have the exact calorie or carb. counts. I think it is just as tasty as the original recipe. But there are less calories/serving and less carbs.

These squares are a great way to use up leftover strawberries. I always have a few extra berries lying around, and this is a delicious way to use them up.
