Preparation

• Prepare each package of Jell-O according to package directions for Jigglers and place in the refrigerator to chill in a very lightly buttered small square dish or pan (I use a 6 inch x 6 inch x 2 inch mini casserole).
• After the Jell-O has set-up, remove them from the "mold" of the dish cut them into little squares.
• Set Aside in the refrigerator.
• Place the toasted coconut, toasted sliced almonds, Mandarin Oranges, pineapple tidbits, sour cherries, sliced peaches, banana, apple, Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, into a large and deep mixing bowl and gently toss together; set aside.
• Mix together the desired amounts of Cool Whip and Sour Cream and scoop into the fruit mixture and lightly toss together. (Use equal parts of the cool whip and sour cream to make it as heavily dressed as you like)
• Add the Jell-O Squares to the dressed fruit mixture and lightly work in to cover the Jell-O squares with the dressing mixture.
• Chill for 3-4 Hours before serving.
