Description

Snickers Apple Salad is a delightful and easy-to-make dessert salad combining the crispness of Granny Smith apples with the creamy sweetness of instant vanilla pudding and cool whip, enriched with chunks of Snickers bars and drizzled with luscious caramel sauce. Perfectly refreshing and indulgent, this treat is great for gatherings or a quick sweet fix.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 (3.4-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 8 ounces cool whip

Fruit and Candy

  • 4 large Granny Smith apples, chopped into bite-size pieces
  • 4-5 Snickers bars, chopped into bite-size pieces

Topping

  • Caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and ½ cup of milk until the mixture thickens slightly. Then gently fold in the 8 ounces of cool whip until fully combined to create a light, creamy base.
  2. Chop Apples and Snickers: Core and dice the Granny Smith apples into bite-size pieces. Also, chop the Snickers bars into similarly sized pieces, ensuring easy mixing and even distribution throughout the salad.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped apples and Snickers pieces into the pudding and cool whip mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly without breaking up the pieces too much.
  4. Drizzle with Caramel Sauce: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and generously drizzle caramel sauce on top for added sweetness and flavor contrast.
  5. Chill and Serve: Serve the salad cold immediately or refrigerate it to serve later chilled. The salad can also be layered in a trifle dish for an attractive presentation before chilling.

Notes

  • For best results, use crisp Granny Smith apples; they provide a nice tartness against the sweet pudding and caramel.
  • Chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to improve flavor melding and texture.
  • You can substitute Snickers bars with other candy bars like Milky Way or Mars for variety.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days to maintain freshness.
  • To reduce sugar, consider using sugar-free pudding mix and a low-sugar caramel sauce.
