Yummy 4th Treat!

I made these for the 4th of July festivities at my parents house last night.  They were absolutely delicious!  They were also fairly easy to make.

Here's the ingredients and directions:

• 1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
• 1 cup  cold milk
• 1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
• 1-1/2 cups  thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, divided
• 1 pkg. (12 oz.) NILLA Wafers
• 1/2 cup  mixed red, white and blue sprinkles
• 42 pieces red string licorice (1 inch)

BEAT cream cheese in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in milk. Add dry pudding mix; beat 2 min. Whisk in 1 cup COOL WHIP.

SPOON about 1-1/2 Tbsp. pudding mixture onto each of half the wafers; cover with remaining wafers to make sandwiches. Freeze 2 hours or until filling is firm.

SPREAD tops of wafer sandwiches with remaining COOL WHIP. Dip in sprinkles (I used the sugary sprinkles). Insert licorice piece in top of each for the fuse. Freeze until ready to serve.
