Snickers Carmel Apple Salad

Yes, you read that right!

I am revealing the deep dark secret I have been hiding (that was for you Foursons).

It is the legendary Snickers Carmel Apple Salad.

Actually, this is my cousin's recipe and she reads this blog and I am now fearing that I have the name of the recipe wrong. It really doesn't matter because it is SOOOOO YUMMY!

Ingredients

8 Granny Smith Apples (cored, peeled and diced)

16 oz. of Cool Whip

5 oz. package of Vanilla JELL-O pudding

6 Snickers Bars

Thaw Cool Whip and mix with Vanilla Pudding. Take diced apples and fold into the Cool Whip mixture. Cut Snicker Bars into small pieces and stir into apple mixture. Sprinkle any left over chocolate on your cutting board onto mixture as a pretty garnish. You may also put carmel sauce on the top for added flair. Hottie Husband came up with that.

Have I ever told you that he won the cooking award in high school? At the same banquet, he also won MVP of the football team! You can imagine the razzing he got from his buddies.

And just because I am having so much fun with my camera, here are some photos.

It says Snickers on the other side.

Ummm, do you get what they mean?

I needed a little help from Hottie Husband.

It was late and I hadn't slept much.

Okay fine, I'll quit with the excuses, I just didn't get it.

So you have an idea of what size to cut the apple into.

I usually put some lemon on the apples just to keep them from getting brown. Of course, this also works on bananas and avocados.

I sliced the Snicker bars like this and then cut these pieces in half.

I wish I could give you a bite right now!

Fun Food Tips

When your bananas begin to look like this or worse

DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY

I repeat

DO NOT THROW THEM AWAY

Instead, peel them and put them in a ziploc bag or other container in your freezer. Make sure that you peel them first. If you don't, it is quite a chore to remove the peel. Believe me, I know!Mine is not a freezer bag although that would be preferable.

Then, when you are making a smoothie, take out your frozen bananas.

It adds that frozen texture to your smoothie along with all the other power that is packed in a banana.

Another delicious addition that Mister Luke discovered to add to your smoothie is some key lime flavored yogurt. Yummy!

Sorry for the giant blender pic. I am experimenting with pixel size.

Here is Ida's Birthday cake which was a Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla flavored cake with homemade buttercream frosting.

I added a little bit of red food coloring to give it that soft pink shade and then just cut some flowers from my yard to make it pretty.

I always make extra frosting when doing a layer cake because frosting can cover

a multitude of cake mistakes.
