Furr’s Fruit Punch Jell-O Salad

Furr's Cafeteria ... one of my favorite memories of when we lived in Colorado! Sadly, Furr's is not in the southeast (yet!). My son, who was a toddler at the time, ordered this every time we went, so I'm really excited to have found the recipe! From copykat.com. Cook time is chilling time to set the gelatin.
