  • 35 FAMOUS Chocolate Wafers, finely crushed, divided
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 5 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
  • 1 (8 ounce) package PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1 (8 ounce) tub COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

  1. Mix 1-1/2 cups of the wafer crumbs, sugar and butter in 13×9-inch pan. Press firmly onto bottom of pan. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Beat cream cheese in medium bowl until well blended. Gently stir in 1/2 of the whipped topping. Spread evenly over crust.
  3. Stir boiling water into gelatin in medium bowl 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Add enough ice cubes to cold water to measure 1-1/2 cups. Add to gelatin, stirring until slightly thickened. Remove any unmelted ice. Spoon slightly thickened gelatin over cream cheese layer.
