Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4–5 medium-size apples, cored and chopped
- 6 regular-size Snickers candy bars, chopped
Dairy and Cream:
- 1 tub (8 ounces / 226 grams) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
- 1 box vanilla or French vanilla pudding mix
Sweet and Sauce:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) caramel sauce
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, blend milk, instant pudding powder, and thawed whipped cream until achieving a silky, uniform consistency that forms the foundational layer of the dessert.
- Gently fold chopped Snickers bars and diced apples into the creamy mixture, ensuring even distribution to guarantee a harmonious blend of textures and flavors in each serving.
- Transfer the concoction to a sealed container and refrigerate for 120 minutes, allowing ingredients to integrate and develop a more cohesive taste profile.
- Before presenting, cascade caramel sauce across the surface, creating an indulgent drizzle that elevates the dessert’s visual appeal and introduces an additional layer of decadent sweetness.
- For optimal enjoyment, serve thoroughly chilled, allowing guests to appreciate the intricate balance of creamy, crunchy, and fruity elements within the salad.
Notes
- Swap out regular milk for almond or oat milk to make this dessert dairy-free and accommodate lactose-intolerant guests.
- Dice apples right before mixing to prevent browning and maintain their crisp texture and fresh appearance.
- Use green Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast against the sweet caramel and candy, balancing the overall flavor profile.
- Prepare this dessert no more than 4-6 hours before serving to keep the Snickers chunks and apple pieces from becoming soggy.
