- 8 ounces cool whip

- 4 large Granny Smith apples, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 4–5 Snickers bars, chopped into bite-sized pieces
Topping
- Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and ½ cup milk until the pudding begins to thicken.
- Fold in the cool whip: Gently fold 8 ounces of cool whip into the pudding mixture until fully combined and smooth.
- Chop apples and Snickers: Core and cut the 4 large Granny Smith apples into bite-sized pieces. Similarly, chop 4-5 Snickers bars into small pieces.
- Combine ingredients: Add the chopped apples and Snickers pieces into the pudding and cool whip mixture. Stir gently to evenly combine all components.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or layer it in a trifle dish, then drizzle caramel sauce generously over the top.
- Serve cold: Chill the salad if desired, and serve cold for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast that balances the sweetness of the Snickers bars and caramel.
- For easier serving, prepare the salad a few hours in advance and refrigerate so flavors meld.
- You can substitute cool whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- Add nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor variation.
