Add:

1 large can pineapple chunks, drained .

3/4 package miniature marshmallows (colored) (Make sure rice is cool before adding marshmallows or they will melt).

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Before serving, beat 1 pint whipping cream till stiff, fold into the rice mixture. Put into a fancy crystal or glass bowl, top with maraschino cherries.
