Candy Bar Apple Salad Recipe

By KeyIngredient

This creamy, sweet salad with crisp apple crunch is a real people-pleaser. It makes a lot, which is good, because it will go fast! —

This was a hit at a bbq though people had to ask what it was. I added some mini marshmallows to the mix. Next time I think I'll add some oranges and/or grapes too because it seemed like there was more 'sauce' than salad.

I made this for a bridal shower and received many compliments and recipe requests! I couldn't find a 3.4 oz pudding mix so used a 1.5 oz box. I bought 2 just in case, but the vanilla flavor was very overwhelming. I ended up using 16 oz of frozen whipped topping to make up for this. It made a little extra sauce, so some extra apples and candy bars were good. But after these few adjustments, the flavor was excellent. The left overs lasted a few days in the fridge, too, which surprised me with apples. I can't wait to make this again!

My family loves this recipe and we make it often. We usually add grapes and mandarin oranges to the salad!
