  1. In a medium pot, add the orange jello powder, vanilla cook and serve pudding powder packet and the water. Stir everything together and bring the liquid to a boil over medium high heat. Stir contstantly and continue to boil until the mixture thickens and turns and deep orange color.
  2. Pour the warm mixture into a bowl and place in the fridge until it sets into jello. This will take about 2-4 hours.
  3. Once the jello is set, add in the cool whip. Stir everything together roughly (do not overmix). If you have a manual potato masher, this works perfectly!
  4. Now gently fold in the the drained mandarin oranges.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and place covered in the fridge until ready to serve. Serve cold!
