30 square shortbread cookies, finely crushed (about 2 cups)

Reserve 1/4 cup cranberries. Place remaining cranberries in medium saucepan. Add sugar and 1/2 cup water; stir. Bring to boil on medium heat, stirring frequently; simmer on medium-low heat 3 to 5 min. or until cranberries are softened, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

Meanwhile, microwave butter and 2 oz. chocolate in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1 min. or until butter is melted; stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Stir in cookie crumbs; press onto bottom of 9-inch springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Melt remaining chocolate as directed on package; mix with cream cheese in medium bowl until blended. Gently stir in COOL WHIP.
Spoon gelatin mixture over crust; spread to evenly cover crust. Cover with cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
Meanwhile, rinse reserved cranberries; shake gently to remove excess water. Place cranberries in small resealable plastic bag. Add reserved dry gelatin mix; close bag, then shake gently to evenly coat cranberries with gelatin mix. Refrigerate until ready to use.
