Did Nixon ever eat this stuff?

Digging through the magazine clippings and scribbled slips of paper that make up Mom's recipe collection...

The mid-20th century saw the invention of many modern artificial ingredients, and the resulting oddities that showcased them.
This at least has some actual fruit and nuts to redeem it. But, really, the highlight has to be the mini-marshmallows (the pastel multi-color kind, if you can find them).

1 pkg. instant pistachio pudding mix
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Put in fridge to set.
