Ingredients

CRUST
2 cups Chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
1/4 cup Granulated sugar
1/2 cup Butter, melted

FILLING
8 oz Package fat-free cream cheese
12 oz Tub Cool Whip Free, thawed
2 cups Boiling water
2 packages Orange gelatin (4 servings)
1/2 cup Cold water
Ice cubes

DECORATIONS
1/4 cup Chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
7 Rectangular shaped sandwich cookies

Preparation

Preheat oven at 350 degrees F.

Prepare a 9 x 13 x 2" pan with cooking spray and flour.

To prepare crust, combine 2 cups cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar and butter in a small mixing bowl. Press firmly into prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and then chill.

To prepare filling, combine cream cheese and 1/2 cup Cool Whip in a mixing bowl. In another mixing bowl, combine boiling water into gelatin until completely dissolved. Mix cold water and ice cubes together to make 1 1/2 cups. Stir ice water into gelatin until thickened. Remove any remaining ice cubes. Spoon gelatin over cream cheese layer. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm. Spread remaining Cool Whip over gelatin layer.

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cookie crumbs. Decorate as a "grave yard" by poking sandwich cookies on end into dessert. Decorate the cookies as tombstones with the decorator icing. Scatter candy and pumpkins around the surface.
