Time 2h40m

Yield Makes 8 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 vanilla creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, divided
1 cup boiling water
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Lime Flavor Gelatin
ice cubes
1/2 cup cold water
2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping
20 drops each: green and yellow food coloring
8 clear plastic cups (7 oz.)
3 Tbsp. white decorating icing
black shoestring licorice, candy corn and small hot cinnamon candies
8 wooden pop sticks

Steps:

  • Crush 8 of the cookies; set aside. Stir boiling water into dry gelatin mix in large bowl at least 2 min. until gelatin is completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites). Remove any unmelted ice. Add whipped topping; stir with wire whisk until well blended. Add food colorings; mix well. Refrigerate 20 min. or until mixture is very thick and will mound.
  • Spoon 1/4 cup of the gelatin mixture into each plastic cup. Top each with 1 Tbsp. of the crushed cookies; cover with 1/4 cup of the gelatin mixture. Refrigerate 2 hours or until set.
  • Spread tops of the remaining cookies with decorating icing. Decorate each to resemble Dracula's face using licorice pieces for the mouth, nose and eyebrows, candy corn for the fangs and cinnamon candies for the eyes. Insert a pop stick into side of each decorated cookie. Insert 1 into each dessert just before serving.

DRACULA'S EYES



Dracula's Eyes image

I got this recipe out of a Better Homes and Gardens magazine many years ago. Always a hit with the kids or when we take them to Halloween gatherings or work. Cook time is drying time for the peanut butter balls/melting time for the candy coating
