6. Spread 1 rounded tablespoon of pudding mixture onto 1 graham square; cover with second graham square. Spread top with 1 rounded tablespoon of pudding mixture. Repeat with remaining graham squares and pudding mixture to form 12-inch loaf.

7. Stand on edge on platter; frost with cream cheese mixture to resemble log.

8. Run tines of fork over dessert to resemble tree bark. Refrigerate overnight. Meanwhile, make curls from white chocolate (see Tip); refrigerate until ready to use.

9. Decorate with wafers, chocolate curls and raspberries. Cut into diagonal slices to serve.

Tip: How to Make Chocolate Curls -- Warm a square of white chocolate by microwaving it, unwrapped, on HIGH for a few seconds or just until you can smudge the chocolate with your thumb. Hold the square steadily and draw a peeler slowly over flat bottom of square, allowing a thin layer of chocolate to curl as it is peeled off the bottom of the square to make long, delicate curls. Use the same technique along the narrow side of the square to make short curls.
