Candy Apple Salad



I have made this recipe once before and thought it was the perfect balance between chocolate and fruit.  I also thought it was the perfect choice for a dessert while we were home visiting my parents, since they don't have air conditioning and wouldn't let me use the oven!  It only takes a few minutes to whip up, which allowed for plenty of time to hang out with family.

8 oz. container of cool whip
3.4 oz. box of instant vanilla pudding
1 cup milk
15 fun size Snickers
5-8 granny smith apples

     Place candy in the freezer for about an hour.  This will make it easier to cut and keep it from melting.  Meanwhile, mix the milk and pudding mix together in a medium bowl.  Place in the fridge until the candy is ready to cut.  Chop the apples into bite size pieces.  Chop the snickers into small pieces.  Fold cool whip, Snickers, and apples into the pudding mixture.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Makes 10 servings.
