MERRY CHERRY DESSERT

This is a very cool cherry dessert that I make every year at Christmas as one of my desserts. I got it off the Kraft website and it's delicious. If you like cherries, and angel food cake you will love this. The kids all love it!! If you can't find the 8 oz box of gelatin-which I couldn't-I just used the closest amount-same goes for the pudding-wasn't sure of the ounces-I just know it was 2 small boxes. Enjoy
