In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the flavored gelatin mix in 2 cups of boiling water. Stir thoroughly for about 2 minutes to ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Add the mandarin oranges, pineapple chunks, and mini marshmallows into the mixture. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into a serving bowl or individual cups for portioned servings.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the jello salad is fully set.

Step 7

Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled as a dessert or side dish.

Step 8

Optional: Garnish with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional mini marshmallows before serving.
