Notes: These cream cheese squares are absolutely delightful! Anytime Mom made these, we hovered around until they were cool enough that she'd allow us to take one. They never lasted long enough to see the refrigerator.
They would also work great as light little individual "cheesecake" servings in miniature muffin cups or tins for parties - with various toppings. They are better than cheesecake, in my opinion!
