Ingredients
  

Taffy Apple Salad

  • 8 oz pineapple tidbits canned, with juice
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 3.4 oz vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 8 oz cool whip thawed
  • ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 honey crisp apples cut into ½ inch chunks
  • 2 granny smith apples cut into ½ inch chunks
  • 5 snickers bars cut into bite size pieces
  • 1 cup peanuts
  • ½ cup caramel sauce store bought or homemade

Instructions
 

Making Taffy Apple Salad

  • Mix the pineapple tidbits and marshmallows together in a medium bowl then set aside
  • Whisk the vanilla pudding mix with the milk in a medium bowl
  • Fold the pudding mix and whipped cream together in a large bowl. Mix in the salt
  • Fold the apples, snickers pieces and peanuts into the whipped cream mixture
  • Fold in the pineapple and marshmallow mixture then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving and up to 24 hours
  • Drizzle caramel sauce over the top before serving

Notes

  • Make Taffy Apple Salad 4 hours to 1 day ahead of time. It's best to let the apple salad sit for a bit for the flavors to blend but it starts to get a bit watery if it sits too long.
  • You can cut and store the apples ahead of time but be sure to coat them in lemon juice, apple juice or pineapple juice. The acidity will keep the apples from turning brown.
  • Make homemade caramel sauce for the Taffy Apple Salad! It's really easy and delicious. You can use the caramel sauce recipe from my Caramel Apple Snack Cake recipe!
