Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Jello mix (any flavor)
- 2 cups Boiling water
- 1 cup Cold water
- 15 oz Canned fruit cocktail (drained)
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 8 oz Cool Whip or whipped topping
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, pour the 6 oz packet of Jello mix.
Add 2 cups of boiling water to the Jello mix and stir thoroughly until the powder is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of cold water to the dissolved Jello mixture.
Place the bowl in the refrigerator and allow the Jello mixture to chill for about 1.5 hours, or until it starts to slightly thicken but is not yet fully set.
Once the Jello has thickened, gently fold in the drained canned fruit cocktail, 1 cup of mini marshmallows, and 8 oz of Cool Whip.
Transfer the mixture into a serving dish or a decorative bowl, spreading it evenly.
Chill the Jello salad in the refrigerator for an additional 2-3 hours, or until fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
