A delightfully indulgent Snickers Apple Salad combining creamy butterscotch pudding, crunchy granny smith apples, and chunks of Snickers candy bars, all whipped together for a luscious dessert or sweet side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Pudding Base

  • 1 3.4 ounce package instant butterscotch pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 ounces Cool Whip (or whipped cream)

Mix-ins

  • 3 large granny smith apples, cut into 1/2″ pieces (reserve 1/2 cup for garnish)
  • 6 full-size Snickers Candy Bars, cut into 1/2″ pieces (reserve 1/2 cup for garnish)

Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the instant butterscotch pudding mix and milk until well combined and the mixture begins to thicken. Then gently fold in the Cool Whip to create a light, creamy base.
  2. Add apples and Snickers pieces: Fold the diced granny smith apples and chopped Snickers candy bars carefully into the pudding mixture, ensuring even distribution without crushing the pieces. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve to let the flavors meld.
  3. Serve with garnish and caramel: Just before serving, gently stir the salad again to mix any settled ingredients. Transfer it to a serving bowl, drizzle the caramel sauce evenly over the top, and sprinkle with the reserved apple and Snickers pieces for an attractive garnish and added texture. Enjoy immediately for best freshness.

Notes

  • Use tart Granny Smith apples for a nice balance against the sweetness of Snickers and butterscotch pudding.
  • For a lighter version, substitute Cool Whip with whipped cream or a low-fat whipped topping.
  • Make sure to reserve some chopped apple and candy pieces for garnish to enhance presentation and texture contrast.
  • This salad is best enjoyed within 24 hours as the apples may brown over time.
  • Variations can include adding chopped nuts or substituting caramel sauce with chocolate syrup for different flavor profiles.
