- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 15 ounces mandarin oranges (drained)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions
In a large heatproof mixing bowl, dissolve the orange-flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water by stirring for about 2 minutes, until fully dissolved.

Add the crushed pineapple (including the juice) and the drained mandarin oranges to the gelatin mixture. Stir to combine.
Transfer the mixture to a 9x13-inch glass or ceramic dish, spreading it out evenly.
Refrigerate the dish for 1 to 2 hours, or until the gelatin has thickened but not fully set.
Once partially set, gently fold in the mini marshmallows and the whipped topping until well combined. Make sure the whipped topping is evenly distributed throughout.
