Do you know that we woke up to snow here on Saturday morning? Yep, it's true. I almost cried. I feel like all of the seasons in the past couple years have been super short, all but winter, that is. Why is it that winter always lasts the longest? Just like last year, I'm not going to let the cold weather get me down! There's too much good in life to be thankful for and I'm going to try to focus on that!
Today I'm sharing a SUPER DUPER yummy recipe for Snicker Caramel Apple Dip. It's a light, vanilla and caramel fluff loaded with Snicker candy pieces - perfect for apple dipping!
I knew right away this was going to be a winning dip. I love how light and fluffy it is. Now, don't get me wrong, just because you're dipping apples in it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the healthiest dip in the world. It's not, but it's perfect for those days you just want to splurge and live it up a little. Will kids love this dip? Ummm. . .possibly more than Halloween candy.
In the months of September and October all of us here at the Zenner house celebrate our birthdays. I'm in the middle of planning for the kids' birthday party right now and you can bet I'll be serving this dip.
It's pretty perfect for parties because it makes a ton. But if you just want to make it for yourself, that's okay, too (I won't tell). I would, however, think about halving the recipe unless you want to visit the gym a couple extra times that week. It's so good and it's so worth it. Trust me. So go ahead and dip. It's truly the only thing that's going to get me through another Wisconsin winter. 🙂
Snicker Caramel Apple Dip
Ingredients
- 8 oz. Cool Whip whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 3.4 oz. vanilla instant pudding
- 5 regular size Snickers candy bars
- 1 cup prepared caramel dip
- Caramel ice cream topping for drizzle
- Apple slices for dipping
Instructions
- Cut up four of the Snickers candy bars into smaller than bite-size pieces.
- Whisk together pudding mix and milk in a medium-sized bowl. Pour in the caramel dip until well mixed and fold in the Cool Whip and Snickers pieces.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Cut up the remaining Snickers candy bar into pieces.
- Drizzle with caramel topping and remaining Snickers pieces immediately before serving.
- Serve with apple slices.
Notes
- Preparation Tips: To ensure the dip has a smooth and creamy consistency, allow the Cool Whip to thaw completely before mixing it with the other ingredients. Additionally, make sure the pudding mix is fully dissolved in the milk before adding the caramel dip and Cool Whip. This will ensure that the dip sets properly and has a uniform texture.
- Customization: Feel free to customize the dip to suit your preferences. For example, you can use different flavors of instant pudding mix, such as butterscotch or chocolate, to create unique variations of the dip. You can also adjust the sweetness by adding more or less caramel dip, depending on your taste preferences.
- Presentation: Enhance the presentation of the dip by serving it in a decorative bowl or hollowed-out pumpkin for a festive touch, especially during fall gatherings or Halloween parties. Drizzling caramel ice cream topping over the dip just before serving adds a visually appealing finishing touch and enhances the caramel flavor. Arrange the apple slices neatly around the dip for a visually appealing presentation that invites guests to dig in.

I'm so sorry to ask this as it has to be right here in front of me but what is the 1 cup of prepared caramel dip? Thanks for your help!
Sara
You can usually find prepared caramel dip in the fresh section of the grocery store - close to the apples.

Sara, I try not to let the cold weather that's coming not let me down either... but it's too hard to let go of the short summer we had. I'm so happy you shared this gorgeous candy bar action with us at the Show Stopper.... I'm truly wishing I had some right now! 😉
