- 24 ounces canned pineapple chunks, drained
- 8 ounces whipped dessert topping

Helpful hints
- Look for 11-ounce cans of mandarin oranges and purchase 3 cans.
- Acini di Pepe pasta is very tiny balls of pasta used mainly as soup pasta. If unavailable, orzo pasta may be substituted; however, the frog eye affect may be altered.
- To reduce the carbohydrate content, people with diabetes can replace the sugar with Splenda® sweetener and omit the marshmallows. Carbohydrate count is reduced to 21 grams per 1/2-cup serving.
