      2 cans (21 ounces each) lemon pie filling
      2 packages (15-1/4 ounces each) yellow cake mix
      1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, cubed
      1 cup butter, melted
      Whipped cream

        Hi Bobbi!
        I have a lemon dump cake on my list. But mine will not be as rich and will be easier!
        Thanks for thinking of me!

        I have a very similar cookie on my list to make. It is easier and not as rich. I'm still testing it at the moment.
        Thanks for the suggestion!!
