# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes flat, which means you can whip it up on your way to a gathering.
  • The contrast between crispy apples and chewy candy pieces keeps every bite interesting and fun.
  • It tastes like dessert but sits in that gray area where it could almost count as a salad, so you don't feel quite as guilty.
02 -
  • The apples will start to oxidize and brown if you make this more than a few hours ahead, so prep it the morning of or right before serving.
  • Using truly cold milk makes all the difference in getting the pudding to set properly without needing to wait around.
03 -
  • Chop your Snickers and apples into similar-sized pieces so every spoonful feels balanced and intentional, not random.
  • The secret that changes everything is making sure your milk is truly cold—it helps the pudding thicken faster and keeps the whole mixture from becoming watery.
