Snickers Apple Indulgence (Printable Version)

Crisp apples combined with chopped candy, creamy vanilla pudding, and whipped topping deliver a chilled treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 4 large Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped

→ Candy

02 - 6 regular Snickers bars (total approx. 9.5 oz), chopped

→ Creamy Mixture

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

→ Optional Garnishes

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

# How to Prepare:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk together until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
02 - Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully combined.
03 - Add the chopped apples and Snickers bars to the creamy mixture, stirring gently to coat evenly.
04 - Place the mixture into a serving bowl. If desired, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and drizzle with caramel sauce.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to develop flavor and texture before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent without requiring any baking or complicated technique.
  • People are always surprised by how well candy and apples work together in one bowl.
  • You can throw it together in fifteen minutes, making it perfect for last-minute gatherings.
02 -
  • Don't chop your apples too far in advance or they'll start browning; do it right before mixing if you want them to stay bright.
  • The pudding needs to be whisked smooth before adding the whipped topping, otherwise you'll get lumps that won't disappear.
  • This salad is best eaten the same day you make it; the apples will oxidize and the texture shifts slightly after sitting overnight.
03 -
  • Whisk the pudding mixture longer than feels necessary—a full two minutes ensures it thickens properly and won't taste chalky.
  • Cut your Snickers bars into pieces roughly the same size as your apple chunks so every bite feels balanced and intentional.
