1 large box instant vanilla pudding
1 1/2 c milk
12 oz cool whip
4 regular-sized Snickers bars, chopped
5-6 Granny Smith apples, chopped
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Mix pudding and milk together according to package instructions. Let set for 5 minutes. Fold in cool whip. Stir in remaining ingredients and refrigerate.
When we first read this recipe, we thought it sounded really good. Got to the Granny Smith apples, and thought, "Hmmm, maybe not so good." We decided to use our Sunday afternoon Small Group as guinea pigs. We tried it, and it was really good. What was surprising was the last of each bite tasted like a caramel apple. We were very pleased but thought it was missing something. We decided it needed pecans, so we added those after we got home. The result was very tasty.
I need to remember to add "hints" to the recipes. The candy bars are easier to cut or chop if you stick them in the freezer for about 30 minutes first. (I used a chef's knife to cut them into chunks.) Also, when you "fold" in your cool whip, do not use a mixer. Use a spatula, etc., to gently mix it. You don't want the cool whip to loose it's fluffiness.

ReplyDeleteOkay, don't know to correct what I've already posted -- a newby -- anyway, that should be you don't want the cool whip to LOSE ITS fluffiness. (Thanks Amanda!)

ReplyDeleteAfter making this for our crew, we decided we could see it with maraschino cherries in it, with pistachio pudding or lots of other interesting things! Very good....but it does work best for a BIG crowd!
