Snicker Salad




Oh My Goodness!  Where has THIS been all my life!  Just put your skinny jeans away and get set to have your lips kiss you back for this MOST delicious treat!

This is enough to feed 10-12 or to take to work on food day.  You can easily halve this for family serving.

1 bag mini Snicker bars (freeze then chop into halves or quarters)
6 small Granny Smith apples...the more tart, the better
1 large tub Cool Whip
1 large box Vanilla instant pudding mix
1 cup milk

Unwrapping the Snickers was the hardest part of this recipe...I'd enlist a friend to do the unwrapping...they can easily be bribed if you let them eat one or two!

Chop Snickers into halves (I did quarters so the bites were nice and small).  Core and chop the apples (skins on).  Add the pudding mix to the Cool Whip (right in the tub - why dirty a bowl).  Whisk together (this will cause the Cool Whip to reduce) add milk and continue whisking until well blended.

Pour whipped mix over the apples and candy until all pieces are covered.  Store in the fridge until ready to serve!

I was worried that the apples would brown but I served this eight hours after prep and it was just lovely!  Tastes like carmel apples with NONE of their messiness!

Happy Fall Ya'll!

Citrus Cole Slaw


Looking for something light to add to your Sunday dinner...I found this while digging in my recipe box this morning...haven't made it in years...it will be revived today!

2 cups shredded cabbage
8 - 10 cherry tomatoes halved
1/2 cup orange juice
juice of 2 limes
salt and pepper

I like the purple cabbage if I can find it already shredded...the color is really pretty.  Use what is handy.  Combine the cabbage and tomatoes (just chop a small one and drain some of the juices on a paper towel if you don't have any cherry tomatoes on hand).  Mix oj and lime juice and toss the juice mixture over your slaw.  Season with salt and pepper to taste...cover and chill for a couple of hours before serving.  Light, fresh and no mayo to spoil your picnic!
