Instructions
Set your Cool Whip out at room temperature to thaw for about 15 minutes before combining the salad ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl combine the softened Cool Whip, the container of dry orange jello gelatin powder, drained mandarin oranges, drained crushed pineapple, and mini marshmallows. Mix until well combined (there will still be some grainy texture from the powdered gelatin).
Cover the mandarin orange jello salad with cling film and place it in the fridge to chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
Make sure to plan ahead because chilling the jello salad is essential.
The mini marshmallows can be folded in just before chilling if desired.
