Mandarin Fluff


I found this recipe in the July/August 2003 "Country Woman" magazine (by the Taste of Home people). It's the only Country Woman magazine I had. I thought this looked good - I love mandarin oranges, Cool Whip and pecans. I liked it but it wasn't my favorite. Maybe it would've been better if I didn't use store brand oranges.

Ingredients:

2 cans (15 oz each) mandarin oranges, well drained
1 carton (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed (I used sugar free Cool Whip)
1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Directions:

Place oranges in a bowl. Fold in the whipped topping. Just before serving, fold in pecans.

Yield: 5-6 servings.

I love mandarin oranges. I have a cake called pigs pickin cake on my blog I use them all the time for. This could almost work as a frosting of sorts. Sounds yummy with the pecans.

You could definitely eat this on weight watchers and what I love best about it is that it has just a few ingredients. This is my kind of recipe.
