Ingredients

Scale

Salad Base

  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant butterscotch pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 ounces Cool Whip (or whipped cream)

Mix-ins

  • 3 large Granny Smith apples, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (reserve 1/2 cup for garnish)
  • 6 full-size Snickers Candy Bars, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (reserve 1/2 cup for garnish)

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the instant butterscotch pudding mix and milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Fold in the Cool Whip: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture to create a light and creamy base.
  3. Add apples and Snickers pieces: Carefully fold in the diced Granny Smith apples and chopped Snickers bars, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the pudding mixture.
  4. Chill the salad: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Final touch before serving: Just before serving, gently stir the salad to recombine, then transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top and garnish with the reserved apple and Snickers pieces for an appealing presentation.

Notes

  • Use Granny Smith apples for a tart contrast that balances the sweetness of the dessert.
  • Substitute Cool Whip with freshly whipped cream for a more homemade touch.
  • Reserve some of the apples and Snickers pieces for garnish to add texture and visual appeal.
  • This salad can be prepared a few hours ahead and refrigerated, but fresh garnish adds the best flavor and crunch.
  • For a richer flavor, use caramel sauce with a hint of sea salt.
