A gift mug with a bag of pudding, coconut, pecans and wafers, a bag of marshmallows and a cup of pineapple. Stir together, chill 10 minutes and enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons banana cream instant pudding
  • 4 vanilla wafers broken into small pieces
  • 2 tablespoons flaked coconut
  • 2 teaspoons very finely chopped pecans
  • 1/4 teaspoon cherry gelatin
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 snack-size (4-ounce) cup pineapple tidbits

Directions

  • Shake the pudding, crushed wafers, coconut, pecans, and gelatin together in a small zip-top bag.
  • Put the mini marshmallows in their own bag.
  • To give as a gift, line a mug with tissue, set the pineapple cup inside, and lay the two bags on top.

Notes

Pour the pineapple tidbits and juice into the mug, stir in the dry mix, and refrigerate 10 minutes. Top with marshmallows, stir, and serve right away.
Storage: dry mix up to about 6 months sealed in a cool, dry place; once pineapple is added, refrigerate and eat within 3 to 4 days.
