Caramel Apple Salad (Fluffy Apple Salad) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) container Cool Whip
1 (4 ounce) box instant butterscotch pudding mix
3 cups diced apples
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 cup mini marshmallows
additional peanuts, chopped, for garnish

Preparation

In a medium mixing bowl, stir together Cool Whip and butterscotch pudding mix until smooth and uniform. (Note: you do NOT make the pudding prior to this step, you simply combine the dry mix with the whipped topping.).
In a large mixing bowl, combine diced apples, peanuts, and marshmallows. Add the Cool Whip mixture and fold together gently until completely combined.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, or scoop into a lightly greased baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and freeze. Serve frozen salad cut into squares--you may need to defrost for a few minutes to half an hour so that it will cut neatly. Garnish with chopped peanuts.
