Ingredients
list of 6 items
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
1 (3.4 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix
5 medium Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, NOT drained
5 Snickers candy bars (1.86 ounces each), chopped into bite-sized pieces
½ cup chopped dry-roasted salted peanuts
list end
Instructions
list of 2 items
1. In a large bowl, gently fold together whipped topping and instant pudding mix, being careful not to deflate the whipped topping. The pudding mix does
not need to be completely dissolved at this point, since it will dissolve on its own when combined with the liquid in the fruit.
2. Fold in apples, pineapple, Snickers bars, and nuts. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. I do NOT recommend preparing the salad too far
in advance, because the fruit will release additional liquid as it sits and the salad will become watery.

• How long does Snickers Salad last? The salad requires about 1 hour of chilling time, which allows it to “set” and gives the pudding a chance to thicken
the creamy dressing. It will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; however, the peanuts will lose their crunch and the sauce will become thinner
and watery as the fruit releases liquid. It’s best served within 1-6 hours of preparation.• Make a Snickers Salad with Grapes by swapping out 1 of the
apples for a cup of halved red or green seedless grapes.• Make a Twix Apple Salad by swapping out the Snickers bars for an equal amount of Twix bars (you’ll
need enough Twix bars to total about 9 ounces give or take).• A Butterfinger Salad would also be delicious! Substitute the Snickers bars for an equal amount
of Butterfinger bars.• Make it a Caramel Apple Crunch Salad by drizzling caramel sauce over top!• Prepare the Snickers Salad with mandarin oranges by stirring
in a small can of drained mandarin oranges.• Cut down on some of the sugar in the recipe by using Sugar Free Cool Whip and sugar free vanilla instant pudding
mix.
