Ingredients

Scale

Salad Base

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

Fruit and Candy

  • 3 large Granny Smith apples, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (reserve 1/2 cup for garnish)
  • 6 full-size Snickers candy bars, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (reserve 1/2 cup for garnish)

Topping

  • 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 smooth. Then gently fold in the Cool Whip to create a creamy and fluffy base.
  2. Add apples and Snickers: Gently fold in the diced Granny Smith apples and chopped Snickers bars, making sure to incorporate them evenly without breaking the candy pieces. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Serve the salad: Just before serving, gently stir the salad to combine any settling ingredients. Transfer it to a serving bowl, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top, then garnish with the reserved apple and Snickers pieces for added texture and visual appeal. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast to the sweet pudding and candy.
  • Reserve some diced apples and Snickers for garnish to enhance presentation and texture.
  • This salad is best served chilled and consumed within 24 hours to maintain freshness.
  • For a lighter option, use sugar-free pudding mix and reduced-fat Cool Whip.
  • Chopping candy bars into uniform 1/2-inch pieces ensures a good balance in every bite.
