Salad Ingredients
- 1 (6.4 ounce) box instant Vanilla Jell-o pudding mix
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 (16 ounce) container Cool Whip
- 3 large Granny Smith apples, diced
- 1 (11.4 ounce) bag miniature Twix candy bars (about 20 bars), diced
- ¼ cup caramel syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 1 cup of buttermilk. Use a hand mixer and beat the mixture for about 2 minutes or until it is fully combined and thickened.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the entire 16-ounce container of Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and creamy base.
- Add apples and candy bars: Dice the Granny Smith apples and miniature Twix bars into bite-sized pieces. Carefully fold them into the pudding and Cool Whip mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Chill the salad: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad until it is well chilled and ready to serve. This helps the flavors meld together and the mixture to set properly.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, drizzle the salad with caramel syrup as a garnish to enhance the flavor and add an attractive finishing touch.
Notes
- Use tart Granny Smith apples for the perfect balance against the sweet pudding and caramel.
- Miniature Twix bars add a delightful chocolate and caramel crunch; substitute with other caramel chocolate candies if desired.
- For a thicker pudding base, chill the pudding mixture before folding in the Cool Whip.
- This salad is best served chilled and consumed within 2 days for optimal freshness.
- To reduce sweetness, opt for light caramel syrup or drizzle less.
