Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Mixture
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 ounces)
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 8 ounces frozen whipped topping (thawed)
Fruit and Candy
- 5 large Granny Smith apples (chopped)
- 4 full-sized Snickers candy bars (chopped)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: Add the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk to a large mixing bowl and whisk well to combine thoroughly until smooth.
- Let pudding thicken: Allow the pudding mixture to sit for about 2 minutes to let it set and thicken slightly, achieving a creamy consistency.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed frozen whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a rubber spatula to maintain a light, fluffy texture.
- Add apples and candy: Stir in the chopped Granny Smith apples and chopped Snickers bars until everything is evenly coated with the pudding mixture.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the salad to firm up slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use Granny Smith apples for tartness and crunch that balances the sweetness.
- Make sure the whipped topping is fully thawed before folding it in for smooth texture.
- Chopping the Snickers bars into small pieces helps distribute the candy evenly.
- For best flavor, prepare the salad a few hours ahead and keep refrigerated.
- This salad is best consumed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
