Caramel Apple Salad

This is one of Cortney's specialties! I love eating it at family gatherings. In fact, I love it so much, we served it at Clark's baptism. It is a wonderful Autumn salad...okay, it's truly great anytime!

Caramel Apple Salad

(from the Among Friends, Keeping Good Company cookbook

with recipes by Roxie Kelley)

1 (3.4 oz) pkg vanilla instant pudding

1 cup milk

1 (8oz) carton whipped topping

6-8 Granny Smith apples,

cored and cut into chunks

6 regular size Snickers candy bars, cut into bite-size chunks

Fall-colored candy sprinkles or chocolate curls (optional)

Mix milk and pudding until blended. Fold in whipped topping. Add apples and candy bar pieces and mix well. Chill until ready to serve. Serves 8-10.

Cortney's notes: I like to use more Snickers bars than it calls for- no one has objected so far. Also, this salad needs to be eaten the day it is made. It will keep until the day after, but does not keep well any longer.
