Classic Cherry Delight

In a medium bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and sugar, mixing until evenly combined.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a lightly greased 8×8-inch baking dish to form an even crust.
Set aside while you prepare the filling.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until completely smooth and lump-free.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in the Cool Whip until incorporated — avoid overmixing to keep the filling light and fluffy.

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the graham cracker crust using a spatula.
Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top and gently spread it out in an even layer.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is best for perfect texture).

Cut into squares and serve chilled. Each bite offers a perfect balance of creamy, sweet, and tangy cherry goodness!
