Snickers Apple Dessert Salad (Print version)

A creamy blend of crisp apples, chopped Snickers, and vanilla pudding topped with fluffy whipped topping.

# What You'll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 4 large Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped

→ Candy

02 - 6 regular Snickers bars (approximately 9.5 oz total), chopped

→ Creamy Mixture

03 - 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
04 - 1 cup cold milk
05 - 2 cups thawed whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

→ Optional Garnishes

06 - 1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
07 - Caramel sauce for drizzling

# How to Make:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
02 - Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated.
03 - Stir in the chopped apples and Snickers bars gently to coat evenly with the creamy mixture.
04 - Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, then sprinkle chopped peanuts on top and drizzle with caramel sauce if desired.
05 - Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to enhance texture and flavor.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Takes 15 minutes from start to finish with zero cooking required.
  • The apples stay crisp and bright against the creamy, sweet filling.
  • It's the kind of dessert people feel comfortable asking for the recipe for.
02 -
  • Don't assemble this more than a few hours ahead, or the apples will start to brown and the Snickers will soften unevenly.
  • The pudding needs to be mixed with cold milk—warm milk won't set properly and you'll end up with pudding soup.
03 -
  • Chop your Snickers right before assembly so they don't stick to each other or melt into the cream.
  • If your whipped topping starts to separate after chewing, you can fold in a little more right before serving—it's a quick fix that saves the whole dish.
