I haven't tried the Halloween Poke Cake yet but I have tried other variations on this recipe and my family loved it! It should be good, too. Thanks Kraft!

Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Thaw COOL WHIP

Place unopened 8-oz. tub of whipped topping in refrigerator for 4 hours. Do not thaw in microwave.

Substitute

Prepare using COOL WHIP LITE Whipped Topping.

Substitute

If orange food coloring is available, use that instead of the yellow and red food colorings. Add enough drops of food coloring until frosting is of desired shade.

Instead of 1/2 cup of cold water I use 1/2 cup orange soda. It gives it added flavor.

I made this for work on Halloween and it was a hit! It is really good when it is very cold!

I've been suffering with my acid reflux disease due to an immensly stressful event that recently took place in my life - I decided to cut my stress by baking and I came here to find a great recipe. Not only did I feel better while my mind was occupied by the project, but it satisfied my craving for something tasty! Thanks Kraft! =-)
