7 1/2 oz. (about 30) Spangler's Orange Circus Peanuts
1 oz. pkg. orange gelatin
1 (16 oz.) can of mandarin oranges, drained
2 c. of boiling water
1 3/4 c. mandarin orange syrup and cold water
2 c. whipped topping

Cut into small pieces the Spangler's Orange Circus Peanuts. Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water. Add the pieces of Spangler's Circus Peanuts, stirring until dissolved.

Drain the syrup from the mandarin oranges, adding enough cold water to equal 1 3/4 cups liquid.

Add to gelatin; chill until partially set. Stir together the mandarin oranges, and whipped topping; fold into the gelatin mixture. Pour mixture into a 13 x 9 inch pan. Chill until firm. Yields: 18 (3 ounce) servings.

May substitute 16 ounces of canned, crushed pineapple, drained for the oranges.
