Snickers Apple Salad
A sweet and crunchy salad combining crisp apples and Snickers, perfect for potlucks and holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
For the base
- 2 cups Cool Whip (or similar frozen whipped topping)
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
For the salad
- 4 pieces Snickers candy bars, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 4 pieces tart green apples, cored and chopped (Granny Smith recommended)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (optional) Optional for added sweetness
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional; pecans or walnuts work well) Optional for crunch
Instructions
Preparation
- Chill your mixing bowl and utensils briefly if your kitchen is warm; this keeps the Cool Whip from getting too soft.
- In a large bowl, spoon in 2 cups of Cool Whip. Sprinkle the instant vanilla pudding mix over the top.
- Fold the pudding mix into the Cool Whip with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined.
- Add the chopped Snickers pieces and fold them in so they’re distributed throughout the mixture.
- Fold in the chopped apples. If you like, add the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts at this stage.
- Give everything one final gentle stir until uniform.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up and let flavors meld.
- Serve chilled as a dessert or a sweet side dish.
Notes
For presentation, garnish with a few reserved Snickers pieces and a light drizzle of caramel sauce. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 72 hours.
