Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Mixture
- 3.4 oz instant vanilla pudding packet (dry)
- ¾ cup milk
Salad Ingredients
- 8 oz container of whipped topping (thawed)
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, washed, cored, and diced into bite-size pieces
- 6 full-size Snickers bars, diced into bite-size pieces
Garnish
- Caramel sauce (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Make the Pudding Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry instant vanilla pudding packet with ¾ cup of milk until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture until just combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain a light texture.
- Add Apples and Snickers: Reserve a few diced apple pieces and Snickers chunks for garnish. Mix the remaining diced apples and Snickers pieces into the pudding mixture until evenly distributed.
- Chill Salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the salad until it is well chilled, ideally for at least 1 hour, to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve and Garnish: Before serving, drizzle the salad with caramel sauce if desired and top with the reserved apple and Snickers pieces for a decorative touch. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast to the sweet pudding and candy.
- Make sure the whipped topping is fully thawed for easy folding.
- For best taste, chill the salad for at least one hour before serving.
- Caramel sauce is optional but adds an extra layer of sweetness and richness.
- This salad is best served fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- For a lighter version, try using light or reduced-fat pudding and whipped topping products.
