7 1/2 oz. (about 30) orange circus peanuts
1 (6 oz.) pkg. orange Jello
1 (16 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained
2 c. boiling water
1 3/4 c. mandarin orange syrup and cold water
2 c. whipped topping

Cut into small pieces the orange circus peanuts. Dissolve the gelatin in hot boiling water; add peanut pieces. Stir until dissolved. Drain the syrup from orange, adding enough water to equal 1 3/4 cups liquid. Add to gelatin; chill until partially set. Stir together oranges and whipped topping; fold into gelatin mixture. Chill until firm.
