Recipe

To make a crust, mix 2 cups of the cookie crumbs, 1/4 cup

of sugar and the

melted butter in 13" x 9" pan. Press

firmly into bottom of the pan. Refrigerate. Beat the

cream cheese and

remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl until smooth.

Stir in 1/2 of the

whipped topping. Spread evenly over crust. Add boiling

water to orange

jello in a medium bowl; stir for 2 minutes or until

completely dissolved.

Mix cold water and ice to make 1- 1/2 cups. Add to the

jello, stirring

until slightly thickened.

Remove any remaining ice. Spoon slightly thickened gelatin

over cream

cheese layer. Refrigerate at least 3 hours until firm.

Spread remaining

whipped topping over jello just before serving. Sprinkle

remaining 1/4 cup

cookie crumbs over whipped topping to look like the ground.

Decorate the

cookies with colored icings to make the tombstones. Stand

the tombstones on

top of dessert to resemble a graveyard. Decorate with

assorted candy corn

and candy pumpkins. Cut into squares. Store leftover

dessert in

refrigerator. Makes 15-18 servings.
