Snickers Salad Apples Whipped Topping (Print Version)

Creamy dessert with crisp apples, Snickers, vanilla pudding, and whipped topping.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 4 large Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped

→ Candy

02 - 6 regular size Snickers bars (about 9.5 oz total), chopped

→ Creamy Mixture

03 - 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
04 - 1 cup cold milk
05 - 2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

→ Optional Garnishes

06 - 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
07 - Caramel sauce, for drizzling

# Step-by-Step:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened, approximately 2 minutes.
02 - Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined and smooth.
03 - Add the chopped apples and Snickers bars to the creamy mixture. Stir gently to coat the fruit and candy evenly without crushing the apples.
04 - Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts and drizzle with caramel sauce over the top.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and achieve optimal texture.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in literally fifteen minutes flat
  • The combination of textures and flavors is ridiculously addictive
02 -
  • Do not skip the chilling time because the apples need time to release some moisture and soften just slightly
  • Fold the whipped topping in gently or you will deflate all the air and end up with dense pudding instead of fluffy salad
03 -
  • Mix tart and sweet apples for more complex flavor instead of all Granny Smith
  • Use sugar-free pudding and light whipped topping if you want to pretend this is somehow healthy
