Ingredients
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (12-oz) carton Cool Whip

- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.

- Fold in the mini marshmallows.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, stir in or sprinkle the chopped pecans on top.
