Notes

    • Grape jello can be hard to find. If you can't find this flavor, either get it here on Amazon, or sub in raspberry, black cherry or blackberry jello. 
    • Make this no bake dessert ahead of time to give it the appropriate time to set up in the refrigerator.
    • There's two places the chopped nuts can go---either in the jello layer or as a topping.
    • This uses large cans of crushed pineapple and blueberry pie filling.
    • Be sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature to prevent lumps.
