Creating Snickers Apple Salad involves a few straightforward steps. Follow this guide for a perfect result:

1. Prepare the Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly. Core and chop them into bite-sized pieces. You can choose to peel them, but leaving the peel provides extra texture and nutrition.

2. Chop the Snickers: Cut the Snickers bars into bite-sized chunks. The sizes can vary depending on your preference, but smaller pieces will mix better.

3. Make the Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Whisk until smooth and fully combined, allowing for a thick, creamy texture.

4. Combine Ingredients: Add the whipped topping to the pudding mixture. Fold gently until well blended.

5. Add the Apples and Snickers: Carefully fold the chopped apples, Snickers, and mini marshmallows into the pudding mixture. Make sure everything is evenly coated to maximize flavor in each bite.

6. Incorporate Nuts: If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this stage for added crunch.

7. Chill the Salad: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least one hour to set.

8. Serve: After chilling, give the salad a gentle stir and serve chilled.

These steps are simple and yield mouthwatering results!
