- 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.
