JELL-O Dive On In Cake

Ingredients

• 1 package (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
• 2 cups boiling water
• 2 packages (4-serving size each) JELL-O Berry Blue Flavor Gelatin
• 1 cup cold water
• 1 tub (8 ounces) Cool Whip whipped topping, thawed
• 56 mini Oreo bite size chocolate sandwich cookies
• 6 Teddy Grahams snacks
• 5 ring-shaped chewy fruit snacks
• 4 bite-size fish-shaped chewy fruit snacks
• 1 small rectangular Honey Maid graham crackers

Directions

1. Prepare and bake cake mix in 13x9 inch baking pan as directed on package, then cool completely
   • 1 package yellow cake mix
2. Invert cake onto large platter and remove pan
3. 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 (cutting out the pool)
4. Reserve removed cake for snacking or other use
5. Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in a large bowl for at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved
   • 2 cups boiling water
   • 2 packages (4-serving size each) JELL-O Berry Blue Flavor Gelatin
6. Stir in 1 cup of cold water
7. Refrigerate for 1 ¼ hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites) (Or see shortcut)
8. Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake
9. Refrigerate 3 hours or until set
10. Frost borders of cake with whipped topping
11. Decorate with remaining fruit snack and graham cracker as desired to resemble a swimming pool

Shortcut

1. For a quick-set gelatin, simply add 4 cups ice cubes to the dissolved gelatin mixture in place of the 1 cup cold water
2. Stir 8 minutes or until gelatin begins to thicken (spoon drawn through leaves a definite impression)
3. Remove any unmeted ice
4. Pour thickened gelatin into center of cake
5. Continue as directed above
