Calories 149kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box orange gelatin mix 3oz/85g box
- 1 cup boiling water
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 tub Cool Whip thawed, 8oz/1L
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pineapple chunks drained
- 1 cup mandarin orange segments drained
- food coloring neon green, purple, or orange, optional
- gummy eyeballs, gummy worms, Halloween sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, dissolve the gelatin mix in boiling water. Stir in cold water. Refrigerate until the mixture is syrupy but not fully set, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, gently fold the thickened gelatin into the Cool Whip until smooth and creamy. Add food coloring, if using, a drop at a time until the desired spooky shade is reached.
- Stir in mini marshmallows, pineapple chunks, and mandarin oranges until evenly distributed.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the salad is fully set and fluffy.
- Just before serving, scatter candy eyeballs on top and tuck in gummy worms so they “crawl out” of the salad.
Notes
- Switch up the Jell-O: Grape gelatin for purple or orange gelatin for a pumpkin-colored version.
- Extra spooky: Tint the Cool Whip darker with gel food coloring for a more dramatic look.
- Fun serving idea: Spoon into small cauldrons or plastic cups with monster stickers for kids’ parties.
- Storage: Keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Best enjoyed chilled.
