s/o Easter dinner - anyone have a good "jello thing" recipe?

Especially if it involves Cool Whip!

My grandma made one that was green w/Cool Whip and an orange one that had Cool Whip and I believe a jar of apricot baby food was involved. 

I would ask my mom, but if I can avoid consulting with her, it can be a fun surprise.

This is my jello thing. 

2 cups boiling water, divided
2 pkg. (3 oz. each) Raspberry Jell-O
1C Sprite or sparkling soda
1/2 cup cold water
ice cubes
1 cup thawed whipped topping
small handfull of raspberries

Mix 1 cup boiling water to 1 pkg. gelatin mix in medium bowl; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Stir in 1 cup soda and raspberries; pour into cups. Refrigerate 1 hour or until gelatin is firm.

While that's chilling, add remaining boiling water to remaining gelatin mix; stir 2 min. until completely dissolved. Add enough ice to cold water to measure 1 cup. Add to gelatin; stir until thickened. Stir in whipped topping; spoon over gelatin layer in cups. Refrigerate 3 hours or until firm.

Decorate with some fun sprinkles or a little shaving of dark chocolate.

This is a good twist on traditional Jello dishes: http://babiesandbroccoli.blogspot.com/2010/09/strawberry-and-pretzel-salad.html

My mom makes an orange one, its a box of Orange Jello, and cottage cheese, and I think she adds mandarin oranges, you basically mix it all together, you don't cook the Jello, just use it set! SOOO good!!
