When my children were small, they asked me to make this for every family gathering.  The fruit and cool whip really make it a light dessert. The chocolate chips just take it over the top.

1 29-oz Can Mandarin Oranges
1 20-oz Can Pineapple Chunks
2 Cups Flake Coconut
1 Cup Chocolate Chips – Chopped
1 Cup Walnuts – Chopped
2 Cups Mini-Marshmallows
