CIRCUS JELL-O SALAD

 This is my sister's recipe. This always goes over well at pitch-in meals or large family meals, etc.

30 circus peanuts (10-oz pkg)

1 large box orange Jell-o

1 can crushed pineapple

1 large carton Cool Whip

Dissolve Jell-o in 2 cups boiling water. Add the peanuts and stir until they are completely melted. 

Drain the pineapple, saving juice. Add water to the juice to make 1 1/2 cups liquid. Add the liquid to the Jell-o mixture.  Refrigerate until partially set. Add the pineapple and Cool Whip. Refrigerate.
