Ingredients:

For the Pineapple Fluff Base:

• 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, with juice
• 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup shredded coconut
• ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
• 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed

2. Add the mini marshmallows to the pineapple mixture. These little pillows of sweetness will provide delightful texture and flavor.
