Ingredients
Salad
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 8 oz Cool Whip or 1 cup heavy whipped cream
- 5 Granny Smith apples, chopped
- 5 Snickers bars, full size, chopped
Optional Toppings
- 1 Granny Smith apple, cored and sliced or chopped
- 2–3 Snickers bars, chopped
- ½ cup caramel sauce and/or chocolate sauce
- ¼ cup chopped peanuts
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup of milk and whisk until thickened and smooth.
- Gently and thoroughly fold in 8 oz of Cool Whip or 1 cup of heavy whipped cream until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the chopped Granny Smith apples and chopped Snickers bars, mixing gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve to allow flavors to meld.
- Just before serving, arrange sliced or chopped Granny Smith apple on top of the salad, sprinkle with chopped Snickers pieces, drizzle caramel and/or chocolate sauce, and finish with chopped peanuts for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For best results, add toppings just before serving to keep apples fresh and crunchy.
- If you need to add toppings earlier, toss apple pieces with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Use full-size Snickers bars for authentic texture and flavor.
