Scale
Main Ingredients
- 6 Snickers bars, chopped
- 4 Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
- 1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 1/2 cup milk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken slightly.
- Fold in the creamy elements: Gently fold in the whipped topping and caramel sauce into the pudding mixture until everything is fully combined and creamy.
- Add the fruits and candy: Carefully add the chopped Granny Smith apples and Snickers bars to the bowl, stirring gently to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
- Assemble and garnish: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts if desired for extra texture and flavor.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and for the dish to chill thoroughly, enhancing the taste and texture.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use sugar-free pudding mix and light whipped topping.
- Best served the same day for the freshest texture, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Add chopped pretzels for a sweet-and-salty twist that adds crunch and complexity.
