Snickers Salad Dessert Recipe

I don’t know about you, but I have a big extended family.  On both sides.  And since main courses are usually taken care of at family get-togethers by aunts and uncles, I usually like to bring dessert.  For a big group, I needed a dessert that was relatively easy, inexpensive, and able to be made in bulk.  Snickers salad was just the solution.

Ingredients for Snickers Salad

• 4 apples (I used Granny Smith because the other ingredients are so sweet, but you could use any kind that you prefer)
• 6 regular sized Snickers (or substitute an equivalent amount of fun-sized Snickers)
• 1 16 oz. tub of Cool Whip
• 1 5 oz. package of vanilla instant pudding (do not prepare as the box instructs)
• 1/2 cup milk
• Caramel topping

How to Make Snickers Salad

1.  Mix the pudding mix with 1/2 cup milk.  The pudding will be thicker than normal, but that’s okay.
2. In a bowl, combine the Cool Whip and pudding mixture.  I found the whole pudding mixture made the fluff too vanilla-y, so I only added about 3/4 of the pudding mix.  Add according to your liking.
3. Chop the apples into small pieces.
4. Chop the Snickers into small pieces.
5. Add the apples and Snickers to the pudding mixture.  Reserve a few Snickers pieces for topping.
6. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
7. Top with remaining Snickers pieces and caramel topping.
8. Enjoy!

This dessert is perfect for making in bulk– just double or triple the recipe. Serve as a dessert (or as a side for a main dish, because salads are healthy, right?).
