Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Apples

- In a large mixing bowl, fold together the whipped topping and sweetened condensed milk until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Add the Apples
- Gently stir the diced apples into the creamy mixture until they’re evenly coated.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
- Fold in half of the chopped Snickers bars to distribute throughout the salad. Reserve the rest for garnish.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top for extra sweetness and richness.
