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

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-in. border of cake on all sides and a thin layer of cake on the bottom. Reserve removed cake for snacking.

STIR boiling water into gelatin in large bowl until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate about 1-1/4 hours until slightly thickened (the consistency of unbeaten egg whites). (Or, see tip below for a 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 cookies, graham snacks and GUMMIES as desired to resemble a swimming pool. Store any leftover cake in refrigerator.

KITCHENS TIPS

Fun Idea: Insert gummy fish and octopus candies into gelatin "pool" before refrigerating for an added treat!
