Orange Dream Garden

16 Spring Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies, divided

2 cups cold orange juice

2 packages (4-serving size each) vanilla instant pudding

1 tub (12 ounces) prepared whipped topping, thawed

4 cups Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows

Easy Marshmallow Snails (recipe follows)

Flower Pops (recipe follows)

Gummy worms (optional)

Split 12 of the cookies, keeping filling on one side of each cookie; set aside split cookies with filling. Coarsely crush 12 of the split cookies without the filling and remaining 4 whole cookies; set aside.

Add orange juice to pudding mixes in medium bowl; beat with wire whisk 2 minutes or until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping until well blended. Stir in marshmallows. Spoon into 2 1/2 to 3-quart glass bowl.

Stand the reserved 12 split cookies with filling around edge of pudding mixture, alternating filling sides of cookies facing in and out, and pressing cookies down into pudding mixture slightly. Sprinkle cookie crumbs over pudding mixture.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour. Decorate with Easy Marshmallow Snails, Flower Pops and gummy worms as desired just before serving.

Makes 16 (1/2-cup) servings.

How to Split Cookies: To split cookies and keep filling on one side of the cookie, use the end of a metal spatula to separate one of the chocolate wafers from the filling.

To Halve: Recipe can be easily halved using 1 package pudding, 1 cup orange juice, 2 cups whipped topping and 2 cups marshmallows. Prepare as directed, spooning ingredients into a 1 1/2 quart glass serving bowl as directed.

Easy Marshmallow Snails

1 3/4 cups Jet-Puffed Miniature Marshmallows, divided

1 package (4-serving size) gelatin, any flavor

1/2 cup warm water

24 (1-inch) pieces red string licorice

Ready-to-spread vanilla frosting

Set aside 12 of the miniature marshmallows.

Mix gelatin and water in medium microwavable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 1/2 minutes; stir until gelatin is completely dissolved.

Stir in remaining marshmallows. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until marshmallows are partially melted. Stir gently until marshmallows are completely melted. Pour into 9-inch square pan sprayed with no stick cooking spray. Refrigerate 30 to 45 minutes or until set. Run sharp knife around edges of pan to loosen gelatin layer from pan. Starting at 1 edge, roll up gelatin layer tightly. Cut into 12 (3/4-inch-thick) slices.

Unroll each about 1 inch when ready to decorate. Stand 1 of the reserved marshmallows on unrolled portion of each spiral for the "snail's body," securing with frosting. Insert 2 pieces of licorice into each marshmallow for "antennae," securing with additional frosting if desired. Makes 12 servings, 1 snail each.

To Double: Prepare gelatin mixture as directed, doubling all ingredients. Pour into 13-by-9-inch pan. Refrigerate as directed. For ease in handling, cut gelatin mixture in half crosswise before rolling up. Roll each half separately to form 2 rolls. Cut each roll into 12 slices. Decorate as directed.
