When I want something very special, I turn to this recipe given to me by a neighbor. Even those who often pass up rhubarb desserts rave over these creamy squares. Perfection! —Maxine Smith, Owanka, South Dakota

This is so so yummy and versatile. Took it to a potluck tonight and was loved by everyone. I was licking the pan when we got home. I don't care for marshmallows so I put a cream cheese layer ( 1 cup cream cheese & 1 cup icing sugar) instead. I put that layer over the crust, then the rhubarb, then the pudding layer, then the whipped cream. So So so YUMMY! Can't wait to make it again.

Great summer dessert. Took it to a potluck and came home with an empty container. Very good.
