Ingredients

3.4 ounces instant vanilla pudding mix 4-serving size
½ cup milk
8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
3 Granny Smith apples diced in large chunks
5 Snickers bars 1.86 ounce size - chopped
3 tablespoons caramel sauce

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Mix until smooth and slightly thickened.
Gently fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the Cool Whip; you want the mixture to stay light and fluffy.
Wash and core the Granny Smith apples. Dice them into bite-sized pieces.
Unwrap the Snickers bars and chop them into small chunks.
In the same bowl, add the diced apples and chopped Snickers bars to the pudding mixture. Stir gently to coat everything evenly.
Drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the salad for a sweet finishing touch.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled.

Notes

Storage:

You can refrigerate leftover apple Snickers salad in an airtight container for up to two days. After that, the whipped mixture will deflate and become watery, and the apples will soften and brown.

Apple Snickers salad does not freeze well due to the whipped topping and fresh apples.

Tips:

Choose firm apples without any blemishes or marks on the skin. Look for apples with a stem still attached—they're often fresher!

Chop the Snickers bars and apples into small, bite-sized pieces that won’t be a choking hazard for your little ones.
