Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

4 Granny Smith Apples, washed and cut into small cubes

Mix-ins

4–5 full-size Snickers Candy Bars, chopped into small chunks

Creamy Dressing

8 oz Cool Whip or 1 cup heavy whipping cream
3.4 oz Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
1/2 cup milk

Instructions

Prepare Apples and Snickers: Wash the Granny Smith apples thoroughly and cut them into small cubes. Then chop the Snickers candy bars into small chunks to distribute evenly in the salad.
Whip Cream (if using): If you opt for heavy whipping cream instead of Cool Whip, whip the cream until stiff peaks form to ensure a light and fluffy texture in the salad.
Mix Pudding and Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and milk until they are fully combined and the mixture begins to thicken.
Combine Cream and Pudding Mixture: If you are using Cool Whip, fold it gently into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated. If using freshly whipped cream, carefully fold the pudding mixture into the whipped cream, maintaining the fluffy texture with stiff peaks.
Add Apples and Snickers: Gently stir in the cubed apples and chopped Snickers candy bars into the creamy mixture until everything is well coated and combined.
Chill and Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the pudding to set, enhancing the texture.

Notes

For best texture, use crunchy Granny Smith apples as they provide a nice tart contrast to the sweet dressing.
You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a richer flavor.
Feel free to add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
Make sure to serve the salad chilled to maintain the creaminess and freshness.
This salad is best eaten within 24-48 hours to prevent the apples from browning.
