My favorite go-to dessert for potlucks.

 "Yes, you can use butter instead of margarine and it will work fine. I've also substituted blueberry pie filling for the cherry pie filling and it's very good. Check out my recipe for Pumpkin Squares that uses the same basic technique - a pie filling bottom with crunchy cake mix and nut topping." - mamahahn

This is such a simple and delicious recipe! It went over very well for a kids party, several moms asked for the recipe! The only problem was I ran out of ice cream, this is a repeater!

I am planning on making this because it sounds delicious, but I have a question. (I'm giving three stars until I can make it) Can I use butter instead of margarine?
