Frozen Lime Pineapple Mint Cups - makes about 24
1 large can of crushed pineapple - undrained
1 small can of crushed pineapple - undrained
1 large box of lime jello
4 cups mini marshmallows
1 box butter mints - crushed to small pieces using hammer or rolling pin in a baggie. food processor not a good idea.
1 regular size container of Cool Whip-thawed
In large bowl, mix together jello and pineapple, stirring well until jello looks pretty well dissolved. Add in the marshmallows and crushed butter mints. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Stir in the thawed Cool Whip. Using a muffin pan with muffin liners, fill, cover and freeze at least 6 hours. They will keep in freezer if well covered or in a large freezer baggie for a couple of months.
Do not remove from freezer until just before serving as they will collapse if left sitting out for any length of time. I usually leave them in the liners.
At Christmas time, I have served them with a dollop of real whipped cream and a candied red cherry on top.
Can do them with the multi-colored buttermints and colored mini marshmallows for a fun look for a baby shower. Put one of those little baby shoe or rattle candies on top of the whipped cream that you can find at party stores or craft stores in the cake decorating aisle. With all the fun cupcake liners these days, you can do all kinds of things.
