Salad Ingredients
- 4 Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
- 4 Snickers bars, chopped
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Optional: caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the mixture is smooth and thickened.
- Fold in creams: Gently fold the whipped topping and sour cream into the pudding mixture until fully combined and creamy.
- Add apples and candy: Add the chopped Granny Smith apples and chopped Snickers bars into the bowl. Carefully fold them into the creamy mixture until everything is evenly coated.
- Chill the salad: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to chill properly.
- Serve with caramel drizzle: Just before serving, optionally drizzle caramel sauce over the top for added sweetness and garnish.
Notes
- Using Granny Smith apples adds a tart contrast to the sweetness of the Snickers, but you may substitute or combine with sweeter apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp.
- This salad is best enjoyed the same day to keep the apples crisp and preserve the texture.
