Extreme Ambrosia Fruit Dessert

"This is so delicious, and makes a ton of ambrosia, but recipe may be cut in half if desired to serve about 4-6 people, I like to use coloured mini marshmallows --- plan ahead this needs to chill for minimum 2 hours, prep time includes chilling time."

  1. Always seem to like it when I make a recipe calling for fruit cocktail, something I grew up on! Was tempted to omit the mini marshmallows, but didn't ~ Everyone else liked it, so . . .! A GREAT DESSERT & a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar Tag cooking game]
