CARAMEL APPLE SALAD (FLUFFY APPLE SALAD)
I got this recipe from my little sister. It was called Caramel Apple Salad, but I personally don't think butterscotch pudding tastes like caramel apples... nonetheless, it is a delightful sweet side dish/salad or dessert. Other recipes I've seen on 'Zaar all have pineapple, so I am posting this one as it does not. I prefer Granny Smith or another tart apple in this salad as it is quite sweet, but you can use whatever apples you have on hand. :) Prep time includes chilling time; may also be frozen.

Steps:
- 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.

Tips:
- To make the caramel sauce, use a heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel sauce by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the caramel forms a hard ball, it is ready.
- To make the taffy, grease a baking sheet with butter and pour the hot caramel sauce onto it. Let the caramel cool and harden, then break it into small pieces.
- To assemble the salad, combine the apples, walnuts, cranberries, and taffy in a large bowl. Drizzle with the remaining caramel sauce and toss to coat.
- Serve the salad immediately.
Conclusion:
Caramel taffy apple salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tangy apples, crunchy walnuts, chewy taffy, and creamy caramel sauce come together to create a truly unforgettable dish. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try.
