BROKEN GLASS SALAD
This salad creates a beautiful display in a clear glass bowl. It uses three different colors of jello which are covered in a creamy, sweet pineapple, lemon sauce. It is a holiday favorite. I received this from my friend, June. Chill time should include allowing jello to set and then allowing the whole dessert to chill for 5-8 hours or overnight.

INDIVIDUAL CANDY BAR SALADS
Steps:
- For the candy bars: Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch square pan with cooking spray and line with parchment paper that hangs over the edge of the pan by 1 inch.
- Add 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips and 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil to a heatproof glass bowl and place the bowl over a simmering pot of water. Let cook, stirring the chocolate, until it has melted completely, about 5 minutes. Pour into the prepared pan, covering the bottom. Place in the freezer until set, 1 to 2 hours.
- Mix together the powdered sugar, marshmallow creme, peanut butter and milk in a medium bowl until it has a soft, doughlike consistency (this mixture is incredibly sticky, and you may need to use your hands). Remove the pan from the freezer, then wet your fingertips and press the marshmallow filling down over the chocolate in an even layer. Sprinkle the peanuts on top and press lightly into the filling. Set aside.
- Add the caramels and cream to a small saucepot and cook over low heat, stirring, until the caramels are melted, 5 to 8 minutes. Spread the caramel over the marshmallow filling and place in the refrigerator for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining 1 1/2 cups chocolate and 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Spread the chocolate over the top of the caramel, then place back in the refrigerator until chocolate is fully set and hardened, about 1 hour.
- Using the parchment, pull the candy out of the pan, then run a knife under warm water and cut into 14 bars. Cut 6 of the bars into small chunks to be used in the salad. (Refrigerate the remaining bars for another use.)
- For the pudding: Meanwhile, combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the egg yolks, then the heavy cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it's thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and pour the mixture into a heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap pressed against the surface of the pudding. Refrigerate until cooled, about 1 hour or up to overnight.
- For the salad: Add the cream and powdered sugar to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Reserve 2 cups whipped cream in a separate bowl for the topping. Fold the pudding into the remaining whipped cream, then gently fold in the apple slices and candy bar pieces. Serve the salad in individual glass jars or bowls garnished with dollops of whipped cream and sprinkles.

Tips:
- Choose the right glass bowl: Glass is a non-porous material that won't absorb flavors or odors, making it an ideal choice for storing salads. Choose a bowl that is large enough to accommodate your salad, but not so large that the dressing pools at the bottom.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Salads are a great way to showcase fresh, seasonal produce. When choosing your ingredients, look for items that are ripe and in season. Avoid any ingredients that are bruised or wilted.
- Wash your greens thoroughly: Before adding your greens to the salad, be sure to wash them thoroughly in cold water. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a light hand when dressing your salad: A little dressing goes a long way. When dressing your salad, use a light hand and toss the salad gently to coat the greens evenly.
- Don't overcrowd your salad bowl: When assembling your salad, don't overcrowd the bowl. This will make it difficult to toss the salad and will make the salad look messy.
- Serve your salad immediately: Salads are best served immediately after they are made. This will help to prevent the greens from wilting and the dressing from separating.
Conclusion:
Glass bowl salads are a healthy and refreshing way to enjoy your favorite vegetables. With a little planning and preparation, you can create a delicious and nutritious salad that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a light and healthy meal, give glass bowl salad a try.
