Substitutions And Additions

STRAWBERRY JELLO: This great recipe would be tasty with a variety of different flavors of jello. Orange jello would make for an orange fluff salad. For a peaches ‘n cream flavor, peach jello would also be super yummy.

STRAWBERRIES: If you choose to change the jello flavor in this easy recipe, I recommend changing the fruit. For example, if you go with orange jello, try adding mandarin oranges instead of strawberries.

For best results, make sure you give your strawberry marshmallow fluff at least 1 hour of chilling time. It allows all of the yummy flavors to blend together.
