Orange Fluff Jell-O Salad Six Sister's Stuff pg. 98

Great as a salad, side dish or dessert for parties or big dinners. 

I like how it holds up better than a plain Jello and love the taste during warmer months! 

 I do want to experiment with different gelatin and give that a try with taste and color. (pink/blue boy or girl... or green for St. Patty's etc.)

Ingredients:
1 (6 ounce) package cook and serve vanilla pudding (I typically find 3 ounces and buy 2)
1 (6 ounce) package orange gelatin
2 cups water
1 (16 ounce) container nondairy whipped topping  (cool whip I use and thaw a bit to make folding easier.  I never store in the freezer like they tell you to, always in my fridge)
1 (10 ounce) bag mini marshmallows
1 can pineapple tidbits (any size), drained
1 can mandarin oranges (any size), drained
2 bananas, sliced (optional)

Combine pudding mix, Jell-O, and water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil.  Remove from heat and pour into a large mixing bowl.  Refrigerate until mixture has thickened, about an hour.  Beat until creamy.  Fold in whipped topping, marshmallows, and all fruit except bananas.  Chill about an hour before serving.  If using bananas, stir in right before serving so they don't turn brown.

Makes 8-10 Servings

I have made this twice the night before and still turns out great!  A new quick fav, and it's sort of fun to say you've made a "fluff" before.  I even took to a funeral for "fruit salad"  it was all gone so I think it was a fun new fruity dish.
