# What You’ll Need to Cook:

→ Creamy Base

01 - 2 cups whole milk
02 - 1 package instant vanilla cheesecake pudding mix (3.4 oz)
03 - 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
04 - 1 cup Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream

→ Fruit and Candy

05 - 3 large Granny Smith apples, cored and chopped
06 - 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
07 - 2 cups Snickers bars, chopped into bite-sized pieces

→ Topping

08 - 1/2 cup caramel sauce

# Steps to Prepare:

01 - Whisk together milk and instant pudding mix until smooth. Beat in softened cream cheese until fully incorporated. Gently fold in Cool Whip or whipped cream until creamy and light.
02 - Fold chopped apples and mini marshmallows into the creamy pudding mixture without stirring excessively.
03 - Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and salad to chill.
04 - Just before serving, gently fold in chopped Snickers bars and drizzle caramel sauce over the top.

# Extra Cooking Tips:

01 - Toss apples with lemon juice to prevent browning before mixing into the salad.
02 - Use mini Snickers bars to save chopping time and ensure easier serving.
03 - Avoid over-mixing to prevent Cool Whip from deflating and the salad becoming runny.
04 - Add Snickers bars right before serving to keep them from becoming hard due to refrigeration.
05 - Optional: Incorporate mini chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut for added texture.
