Kraft Kitchens tips:

SIZE-WISE
Sweets can add enjoyment to a balanced diet, but remember to keep an eye on portions.

HOW TO BAKE IN SPRINGFORM PAN
Heat oven to 325ºF if using 9-inch springform pan (or to 300ºF if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Prepare batter as directed; pour into pan. Bake 1 hour 10 min. or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim.

SUBSTITUTE
Substitute 20 OREO COOKIES, finely crushed (about 2-1/4 cups) for the HONEY MAID Honey Grahams and 3 Tbsp. sugar.
