Snickers Salad

Snickers Salad

Ingredients:
1 large tub of Cool Whip, thawed1 large package of vanilla instant pudding 1 cup of milk6 snickers bars, cut in bite size pieces (those popables work well too) or 3 super size snickers bars3 medium size Granny Smith apples or other tart apple, cut up into small chunks

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine milk and pudding, then mix in the cool whip. Add the Snickers and then the apples.

Note: Cut the apples after you have mixed the other ingredients so that they aren't brown when you add them. I have also tossed them with a little bit of lemon juice water, and it keeps them from going brown.
