Candy Apple Salad

This recipe--compliments of my sister Amy--is the perfect summer salad! It's incredibly easy to make, and oh-so-delicious. It tastes just like a caramel candied apple!

What You Need
Apples
Snickers Candy Bars
Cool Whip
Instant Butterscotch Pudding Mix

Directions

  1. Chop up about 5 large, crunchy apples into bite-sized pieces.

  2. Add Snickers pieces--about 8-10 snack sized Snickers bars are good.


    A tip for getting your Snickers from bars to pieces--throw them in the freezer (still in the wrapper), once frozen take them out and beat them (while still in the wrapper) with the flat end of a meat tenderizer. Then cut off the end of the wrapper and you have perfect little Snickers bits for your salad! (And the larger bits are good for tossing in your mouth while no one is looking.)


  3. Mix 1 package of butterscotch instant pudding mix (just the powder) with 1 small container of Cool Whip. Add this to your big bowl of apples and Snickers, and mix it all together.


  4. Chill until serving.

And that's all it takes! Quick, easy, and sure to be a hit. I don't even like apples, but I love this recipe. Give it a try and let me know what you think!

I LOVE this salad! It is one of my favs but I use the french vanilla pudding mix because I am not a butterscotch fan and it still tastes just as yummy!!!!

I make this salad all the time! But I used Crunch Bars instead of Snickers (peanut allergy!)

You're blog is too adorable!

I'm trying to get OVER my candy addiction. This will not help. Esp. since I have a basket full of Granny Smiths just waiting to be candified.
