Salad Ingredients
- 6 Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
- 6 full-size Snickers bars, chopped
- 1 (5.1 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- Additional caramel sauce for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until well combined, creating a creamy base.
- Add Apples and Snickers: Stir in the chopped Granny Smith apples and chopped Snickers bars until everything is evenly coated with the creamy mixture.
- Incorporate Caramel Sauce: Drizzle the 1/4 cup caramel sauce over the salad and fold gently to distribute the caramel flavor throughout.
- Chill the Salad: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
- Serve with Extra Caramel: Just before serving, drizzle additional caramel sauce on top for extra sweetness and garnish if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute Granny Smith apples with Honeycrisp or Fuji apples for a sweeter flavor.
- For a lighter version, use sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping.
- Chilling the salad for at least one hour enhances the flavors and texture.
- This dessert is best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
