Ingredients

1 (14 ounces) can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 (20 ounces) can crushed pineapple well drained
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 (8 ounces) tub whipped topping, thawed
1 cup pecans optional

Instructions

Toast the nuts in a small, dry skillet over medium heat for 4-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are lightly browned and fragrant. Let them cool, then chop into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce and drained crushed pineapple until well combined.
Add the mini marshmallows and the chopped, toasted nuts to the bowl and mix until evenly distributed.
Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy, being careful not to overmix.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the marshmallows to soften.
Serve chilled.

Notes

Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Do not store the cranberry fluff as the texture will be very watery once thawed.
Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the salad from becoming runny. Press it into a fine-mesh strainer with the back of a spoon for best results.
