Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake dressing
  • 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 1 box (3.5 oz) cheesecake pudding mix small, instant
  • 1 cup cold milk
  • 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping thawed
For the salad
  • 6 apples medium, cored and chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 5 Snickers bars full-size, chopped
  • 0.25 cup caramel topping

Method
 

Make the cheesecake dressing
  1. Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth.
  2. Beat in the pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  3. Fold in the whipped topping until evenly combined.
Assemble the salad
  1. Toss the chopped apples with the lemon juice.
  2. Fold the apples and the chopped candy bars into the dressing.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
  4. Drizzle with the caramel topping.

Notes

For the best texture, add the apples and candy just before chilling. Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free variation, use dairy-free cream cheese, milk, whipped topping, pudding mix, and candy bars.
