Love My Philly

Print This!

I love this recipe for several reasons. I love PHILLY Cream Cheese (of course) and I love JELL-O! Not only does this recipe combine these two delicious flavors to make a great Halloween dessert, but it also does it in the cutest way! The crushed chocolate FAMOUS Wafers give this dessert just the right “graveyard” effect.

Ingredients

35 FAMOUS Chocolate Wafers, finely crushed (about 1-3/4 cups), divided
1/4 cup sugar
5 Tbsp. butter or margarine, melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
2 cups boiling water
1 pkg. (8-serving size) or 2 pkg. (4 serving size each) JELL-O Orange Flavor Gelatin
ice cubes
1/2 cup cold water
3 CAMEO Creme Sandwich Cookies
decorating icings or gels
10 candy corn
3 pumpkin candies

Instructions

MIX 1-1/2 cups of the wafer crumbs, sugar and butter in 13×9-inch pan. Press firmly onto bottom of pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.

BEAT cream cheese in medium bowl until well blended. Gently stir in 1/2 of the whipped topping. Spread evenly over crust.

STIR boiling water into gelatin in medium bowl 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to cold water to measure 1-1/2 cups. Add to gelatin, stirring until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice. Spoon slightly thickened gelatin over cream cheese layer.

REFRIGERATE 3 hours or until firm.

SPREAD remaining whipped topping over gelatin just before serving. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup wafer crumbs over whipped topping. Decorate sandwich cookies with icings to make “tombstones.” Stand tombstones on top of dessert with candies to resemble a graveyard. Cut into 15 squares. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.
