What Is Twix Salad Made Of?

Twix salad combines diced apples and chopped Twix bars with a creamy mixture of instant vanilla pudding, milk, and Cool Whip. Caramel bites are stirred in for extra caramel flavor, and caramel topping goes over the finished salad.

Granny Smith and Gala apples work especially well together. Granny Smith apples add a tart bite, while Gala apples bring a little extra sweetness. Together, they balance the candy and caramel in this caramel apple Twix salad.

Ingredients

• Snack-size Twix candy bars
• Caramel bites
• Granny Smith apples
• Gala or Jazz apples

• Instant vanilla pudding mix
• Cold milk

How to Make Twix Apple Salad

1. Cut the apples into bite-size pieces. Chop the Twix bars into small pieces, then set aside a little of the apples, candy, and caramel bites to use as garnish.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the cold milk and vanilla pudding mix until the powder is fully blended.
3. Add the Cool Whip and whisk until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
4. Stir in the apples, chopped Twix, and caramel bites until everything is coated.
5. Spoon the salad into a serving bowl. Top with the reserved apples, Twix pieces, and caramel bites, then drizzle with caramel topping.
6. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours before serving.

Tips for the Best Twix Apple Salad

• Use a mix of apples. Granny Smith apples give the salad a tart flavor, while Gala or Jazz apples keep it sweet. You can use all one kind, but the sweet-tart combination is especially good.
• Save some toppings. A few Twix pieces, apple chunks, and caramel bites on top make the salad look extra inviting.
• Cut the apples just before mixing. This helps keep them fresh and crisp.
• Try 2% milk if that’s what you have. The pudding mixture may be a little less rich, but it will still work.
• Chill before serving. The rest in the refrigerator gives the pudding mixture time to set and lets the flavors come together.

Can You Make Twix Salad Ahead of Time?

Yes. You can make this Twix apple salad a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator until serving. For the freshest texture, add the caramel drizzle and most of the toppings just before it goes on the table.

Does Twix Salad Need to Be Refrigerated?

Yes. Because this apple salad with Cool Whip contains whipped topping and pudding, keep it covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve it. Return leftovers to the refrigerator after serving.

How Long Does Twix Apple Salad Last?

It’s best served the day you make it, while the apples are still crisp. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and enjoy them within 1 to 2 days. The apples may soften or release a little liquid as the salad sits.

Is Twix Apple Salad a Healthy Dessert?

This is a sweet dessert salad, not a health-food recipe. The apples add fresh fruit and a pleasant crunch, while the Twix, pudding, Cool Whip, and caramel make it a treat to enjoy at a gathering or as an occasional dessert.

Can I Use a Different Candy Bar?

You can, but the flavor will change. Snickers apple salad is another popular version, usually made with Snickers bars instead of Twix. For this recipe, Twix adds cookie crunch along with chocolate and caramel, which makes the combination with crisp apples especially fun.

This easy Twix apple salad recipe is a simple one to keep on hand for potlucks and family gatherings. Make it with tart Granny Smith apples, sweet Gala apples, and plenty of Twix, then finish with caramel just before serving.
