Ingredients

Scale

Fruit

4 Granny Smith Apples, washed and cut into small cubes

Candy

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

Base

8 oz Cool Whip (or 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks)
3.4 oz Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
1/2 cup milk

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Wash the Granny Smith apples thoroughly and cut them into small cubes. Then chop the Snickers candy bars into small chunks to mix easily.
Whip Cream (if using): If opting for heavy whipping cream instead of Cool Whip, whip the cream until stiff peaks form to create a light, fluffy texture for the salad base.
Mix Pudding Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and milk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Combine Cream and Pudding: If using Cool Whip, fold it into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated. If using freshly whipped cream, gently fold the pudding mix into the whipped cream, maintaining the stiffness of the peaks for an airy consistency.
Add Apples and Candy: Gently stir the cubed apples and chopped Snickers bars into the creamy pudding mixture until evenly distributed throughout.
Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad until ready to serve. Chilling helps the flavors meld and the texture set for the best taste experience.

Notes

You can substitute Cool Whip with freshly whipped heavy cream for a richer and less processed option.
For more texture, add chopped nuts or a sprinkle of cinnamon on top before serving.
This salad can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator to enhance flavor melding.
Use Granny Smith apples for their tartness to balance the sweetness of the Snickers and pudding base.
Experiment with other similar candy bars for variety, such as Milky Way or Butterfinger.
