A Fail Safe Recipe from The UnCook


Here's an easy fruit salad recipe we used to make for Girl Scout camping trips. I'm going to have the boys make it for Christmas dinner.

1 can fruit cocktail, drained; reserve the liquid
1 box instant banana pudding mix
1 container Cool Whip, softened
1 pkg mini marshmellows
1 banana, cut into slices (and any other fruit you want to add; banana-cutting is kid friendly because you don't need a sharp knife)

Mix the banana pudding with the juice from the fruit cocktail. Blend in the Cool Whip. Stir everything else into the pudding, and mix it up well til everything gets nicely covered. Keep it in the fridge til dinner.

It's pretty in a glass bowl, especially if you add more cherries or red grapes.
I suppose you could also add coconut if you really felt you MUST.

"The suit" is not a fan of coconut. Since it is his first Christmas, perhaps the boys should leave out the coconut, just for "Red."

Delicious! I can't wait!

Not gonna lie though, I am minorly nervous that something gross will end up in there...like maybe boogers or rollie pollies!

That is a legitimate concern, Bee.
