Snickers apple dessert salad (Printable)

Crisp apples and chopped Snickers blend with vanilla and whipped topping for a creamy treat.

# What Goes In:

→ Fruits

01 - 4 large Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped

→ Candy

02 - 6 regular Snickers bars (approximately 9.5 oz total), 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 Make It:

01 - In a large bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
02 - Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined with the pudding mixture.
03 - Fold in chopped apples and chopped Snickers bars carefully to evenly coat them with the creamy mixture.
04 - Transfer mixture into a serving bowl. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped peanuts and drizzle caramel sauce on top.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to enhance texture and flavor before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in minutes with no baking, no stovetop, and almost no cleanup.
  • The contrast between crisp, tart apples and creamy, candy-studded pudding is weirdly addictive.
  • Everyone at the table will ask for the recipe, even the people who claim they dont like fruit salad.
02 -
  • Chop the apples right before mixing or toss them with a tiny squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  • Dont let this sit overnight—the apples will start to weep and the Snickers will get soggy, losing that satisfying chew.
03 -
  • Use a serrated knife to chop the Snickers cleanly without squishing them into sticky messes.
  • Let the pudding mixture sit in the fridge for five minutes before folding in the apples so it sets up just a little more and clings better to the fruit.
