oz
Cool Whip
1
cup
mini marshmallows
½
cup
pecans,
chopped

Notes
Variations
Turn this into pure pineapple fluff by using vanilla pudding in place of jello and adding a 20-oz can of pineapple and 2 cups of marshmallows.
Love tropical? Add shredded coconut to the mix.
Prefer walnuts over pecans? Go ahead and replace one with the other.
Make it more of a dessert by topping each serving with some crushed graham cracker crumbs.
Red and green just screams Christmas, so add some chopped cherries to this fluffy lime green dessert for an instant Christmasy look.
Want a more springy look? Try strawberry jello or even lemon jello.
