Candy and Chocolate:
- 6 Snickers bars, cut into bite-sized pieces
Base and Creamy Ingredients:
- 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix (3.4 ounces/102 grams)
- 1 cup 2% or whole milk
- 2 cups Cool Whip, thawed
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whisk vanilla pudding mix with milk until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Incorporate whipped topping with delicate folding motions, creating a luxurious, aerated texture throughout the mixture.
- Introduce crisp, tart Granny Smith apple chunks and chopped Snickers bars, gently stirring to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

Notes
- Pudding Perfection: Whisk the pudding mix and milk thoroughly to eliminate any lumps and ensure a silky smooth base for your salad.
- Whipped Wisdom: Fold Cool Whip gently to maintain its light, airy texture and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Apple Armor: Chop apples just before mixing to prevent browning and maintain their crisp, fresh crunch.
- Dietary Tweak: Swap regular Snickers with nut-free or vegan candy bars for allergy-friendly options, and use sugar-free pudding mix for a lower-calorie version.
