Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

  • 2 green apples, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 red apples, chopped into 1-inch pieces

Mix-ins

  • 6 king size Snickers bars (or 12 snack size Snickers bars), chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 container instant vanilla pudding mix (5 ounces, not prepared)
  • 12 ounces cool whip, thawed

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup caramel ice cream topping
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed cool whip and the instant vanilla pudding mix. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended without any lumps.
  2. Chop and combine ingredients: Cut the Snickers bars and apples into bite-sized pieces. Gently fold these chopped ingredients into the creamy pudding mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed within the mixture.
  3. Add toppings and chill: Drizzle the caramel ice cream topping and chocolate syrup over the salad, then sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the Snickers Salad for at least one hour to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill before serving.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife to chop Snickers bars carefully as the candy can be sticky.
  • Substitute cool whip with whipped cream for a less processed option.
  • For extra crunch, add more chopped nuts or substitute peanuts with walnuts or pecans.
  • Chilling the salad for longer than an hour improves flavor blending.
  • This salad is best served cold and fresh; consume within 1-2 days.
