2. 2

   Add the miniature marshmallows and crushed butter mints to the bowl.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: You can crush the mints by placing them in a sealed bag and gently hitting them with a rolling pin.

   Mix all ingredients together until evenly distributed.

   Ongeveer 1 min

4. 4

   Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight.

   Ongeveer 8 uur

   Tip van de kok: This long chill time is essential for the gelatin to absorb the liquid and for the marshmallows to soften.

5. 5

   After chilling, gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pineapple mixture until just combined.

   Tip van de kok: Avoid overmixing to keep the whipped topping light and airy.

7. 7

   Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
