Ingredients

  • 1 3.4 ounce box Instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups (355ml) nonfat milk
  • ¼ cup (67g) peanut butter
  • 1 8 ounce container Cool Whip (any kind)
  • 12 Fun Sized Butterfinger candy bars chopped or processed in a food processor (about 2 cups)
  • 5-7 Granny Smith apples cored and diced (5 large or up to 7 small; I left the skins on mine)

Instructions

  • Whisk pudding mix and milk in a large bowl. Let set up for about 5 minutes. Whisk in peanut butter (or you can use hand mixer). Try to get as many lumps out as possible.
  • Fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the chopped Butterfingers. Stir in the apples. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days, but it’s best eaten one day 1. Top with remaining Butterfinger crumbs before serving.

Notes

  • Try to get as many lumps out as possible when whisking in the ingredients 
  • To add an extra crunch to your apple salad, throw in some pecans or chopped peanuts
  • You can use sugar free pudding mix and sugar free whipped topping if you want to lower the added sugar in the recipe.
  • I love the tart and sweet mix of granny smith and the sweet pudding, but you can use any kind of apples.
