Well, I have the perfect five-cup recipe that a friend passed down to me, that I am now sharing with you. There are only five ingredients needed for a world of flavor, color and fun.

What you’ll need:

[checklist]

– A mixing bowl and spatula

-One cup of mini marshmallows

-1 cup of sour cream

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, add together the coconut flakes, mandarins (drained), crushed pineapple (drained), sour cream and lastly the mini marshmallows. Stir thoroughly till all ingredients are mixed together. Then, if you wish you can add about five drops of green food coloring until you find the green you want. Stir together once again and then serve into a pretty decorative bowl. Serve it to your friends and voilà! Enjoy!
