I pretty much followed the recipe for this one, with one exception ~ instead of pecans, I used 3/4 of a cup of pistachios! Definitely want to make this again using the pecans, but toasting them beforehand! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adopted orphans in the current Pick-A-Chef]

I have been eating this stuff all my life and when I mixed it up, it brought back so many great memories of my Memaw and my Nee Nee. Finding the pastel mini marshmallows was a hunt, but it was fun. This is a great great great recipe that is very easy and everyone, ESPECIALLY kids love. I especially liked the use of the sugar free pudding mix.
