Pineapple Cheesecake Squares image

This came from Grammy Nell's arsenal of goodness. Not too difficult.. its kind of complex but the result is always a winner. Don't be confuse by the sugar being listed twice in the ingredients for the filling. Its used in 2 different steps. Cook time includes chilling time
