Pumpkin Spice Jell-O

I found this amazing stuff in the commissary...and I stocked up like its the end of the world! But that also means I've been making all the crazy stuff thats possible with it.
I call it...

PUMPKIN SPICE JELL-O

This treat was really simple. I crumbled ginger snaps on the bottom, poured the jell-o over that and sprinkled the top with more ginger snaps. Fantastic!

(sorry, this picture isn't the best...I was in a hurry!)
I also found "Gingerbread" flavored Jell-O! I made a ginger snap crust (mixing crumbs and butter) then poured gingerbread jell-o, let sit for a little bit. Then pour pumpkin spice jell-o of the top of that and sprinkle a little crumbled ginger snaps on the top. Great with whipped cream too!

This is a "Poke Cake" (if you don't know what that is, google it) I made a Spice-Cake (from a box mix) then let cool completely. Then poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon.. Pour the pumpkin spice jell-o over it, making sure all the holes are filled. Let it firm and then create a pretty design with cream cheese frosting. This was a HUGE hit at the party we took it too. Not a bite was left!
