Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 oz Cool Whip
  • 6 Granny Smith apples divided (reserve 1 for garnish)
  • 6 Snickers bars full size, divided (reserve 1 for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce optional

Method
 

  1. Whisk instant vanilla pudding mix with whole milk in a large bowl until smooth and thick, 2 minutes.
  2. Fold Cool Whip into pudding mixture gently until fully combined and the mixture is light and super fluffy.
  3. Dice five Granny Smith apples into bite-sized cubes and reserve one apple for the final pretty garnish topping.
  4. Chop five Snickers bars into small fun chunks and set aside one bar for garnishing right before serving.
  5. Fold diced apples and chopped Snickers bars into the creamy mixture until everything is coated all over nicely.
  6. Refrigerate salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend together and the mixture gets firm.
  7. Dice reserved apple and Snickers bar, then sprinkle over the top as garnish before serving to your guests.
  8. Drizzle with optional caramel sauce for extra sweetness and make it look AMAZING for everyone to enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep ingredients cold so candy bars stay firm and don't melt into the pudding too fast.
  • Make salad up to 4 hours early and add Snickers garnish just before you serve it.
  • Store leftovers in a container with a lid in the fridge for up to 2 days for the best taste.
  • Toss cut apples with lemon juice if making ahead to stop them from turning brown and yucky.
  • Try different candy bars or apple types to make your own special version of this recipe!
