Ingredients
- 1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 pkg. (4-serving size each) JELL-O Berry Blue Flavor Gelatin
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed
- 56 Mini OREO Bite Size Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
- 6 TEDDY GRAHAMS Graham Snacks

Preparation
Step 1
PREPARE and bake cake mix in 13x9-inch baking pan as directed on package. Cool completely. Invert cake onto large platter; remove pan. Using a serrated knife, cut and scoop out a shallow rectangle from center of cake, leaving a 2-inch border of cake on all sides and a thin layer of cake on the bottom. Reserve removed cake for snacking or other use.
STIR boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate 1-1/4 hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). (Or, see Tip below for quicker set method.) Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake. Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.
FROST borders of cake with whipped topping. Decorate with remaining ingredients as desired to resemble a swimming pool. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.
*Kraft Kitchens Tips*
Fun Idea:
Insert bite-size fish-shaped and octopus-shaped chewy fruit snacks into gelatin "pool" before refrigerating for an added treat!
Shortcut:
For a quick-set gelatin, simply add 4 cups ice cubes to the dissolved gelatin mixture in place of the 1 cup cold water; stir 8 min. or until gelatin begins to thicken (spoon drawn through leaves a definite impression). Remove any unmelted ice. Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake; continue as directed.
Make it Easy:
For easy removal of cake, line pan with foil before filling with batter.
