I was unable to find the wafers the recipe required, but i just used Oreos instead and they worked great. Other than that it was a hit at my halloween party!

This dessert has great eye appeal, and I am very anxious to try it. I have plans to replace the sugar with 'Splenda' and use sugar-free gelatin in order to cut the 'Carbs'.

I made this the year jello introduced it and took it to work. Everyone was so in awe of the dessert, no one wanted to mess it up. I cut a piece out and within 15 minutes, it was gone. Lots of compliments and requests for the recipe. Thank you Jello!
