Ingredients

1 pkg. (2-layer size) yellow cake mix
2 cups boiling water
2 pkg. (3 oz. each) JELL-O Berry Blue Flavor Gelatin
1 cup cold water
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed
56 mini vanilla creme-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
6 bear-shaped graham snacks
5 ring-shaped chewy fruit snacks

Steps:

Prepare cake batter and bake in 13x9-inch pan as directed on package. Cool completely. Invert cake onto platter; remove pan. Use serrated knife to cut and scoop out shallow rectangle from center of cake, leaving 2-inch border of cake on all sides and thin layer on bottom. Reserve removed cake for snacking or other use.
Add boiling water to gelatin mixes in large bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate 1-1/4 hours or until slightly thickened. (Or, see Shortcut Tip for quicker set method.) Pour into center of cake. Refrigerate 3 hours or until gelatin is firm.
Frost borders of cake with COOL WHIP. Decorate with remaining ingredients as desired to resemble a swimming pool. Keep cake refrigerated.
