Snickers Salad with Vanilla Pudding Ingredients

This Snickers apple Cool Whip salad is made with common ingredients you might already have on hand, or can quickly grab at the grocery store.

• Snickers: we’re gonna use 5 full-sized bars for the salad, then 2-3 more for topping
• Instant vanilla pudding mix: make sure to use just the amount of milk stated in my recipe, not the amount on the box
• Milk: you can use 3/4 to 1 cup, depending on the desired thickness of your dressing
• Cool Whip: heavy whipping cream will also do
• Apples: Granny Smith apples are best because their tart and refreshing flavor balance the sweetness of this snickers apple salad
• Caramel Sauce: drizzle this to make it pretty and extra delicious
• Chopped Peanuts: This topping offsets the sweetness of the salad and makes it taste even more like Snickers!

How to Make Snickers Salad

It’s unbelievably easy to make this Snickers Salad, as easy as making pistachio fluff or pumpkin fluff. Literally three steps, then one more for topping.

1. Grab a large mixing bowl and whisk pudding mix and milk together.

2. Fold in Cool Whip or other frozen whipped topping. It should look fully incorporated, like in the right photo below.

3. Fold in 5 chopped apples and 5 chopped Snickers bars. When you’re ready to serve, slice 1 apple and arrange over the top of the apple snickers salad. Drizzle with caramel sauce and top with peanuts. Enjoy!

Make-Ahead Tip

If making this caramel apple Snickers salad ahead of time, be sure to toss and coat apples in lemon juice before adding to the salad—this will prevent the apples from browning. However, it’s best not to add the Toppings until ready to serve.
