Snickers Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 package (3.4 oz/102g) vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 cup 2% or whole milk
- 2 cups Cool Whip, thawed
- 4 small Granny Smith apples, chopped (leave the skin on for color and texture)
- 6 Snickers bars, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: chopped peanuts or extra caramel drizzle for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the pudding mixture:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until fully combined.
- Add the apples and Snickers:
- Stir in the chopped apples and Snickers pieces until everything is evenly coated with the pudding mixture.
- Chill:
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill.
- Serve:
- Just before serving, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top. You can also garnish with chopped peanuts or an extra drizzle of caramel if desired.
- Serve cold and enjoy!
Tips:
- Customize the fruit: Swap Granny Smith apples for other varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji, or add bananas or strawberries for a twist.
- Make it ahead: Assemble the salad (without the caramel drizzle) up to a day in advance. Add the caramel sauce just before serving to prevent the apples from browning.
- Lighten it up: Use sugar-free pudding mix, light Cool Whip, and low-fat milk for a lighter version.
