Can Caramel Apple Jello Salad be made ahead of time?
The wonderful thing about caramel apple jello salad is that it comes together in 10 easy minutes. It’s one of those recipes that won’t set you back if you are trying to prepare an entire meal.
This salad is best when made within 1-3 hours before eating it. We like to make it within one to two hours of our dinner. We have saved leftovers for the day after and it does get a little runny the next day. But it’s still delicious and we didn’t think twice about devouring it.

How to make Caramel Apple Jello Salad:
The ingredients to make this salad are simple and things you might already have in your fridge or pantry. The simple ingredients are all accessible at grocery stores. And only 5 different ingredients needed. That should be easy to remember! Oh, and caramel syrup to drizzle on top.
Add the buttermilk and instant vanilla pudding together in a large mixing bowl and beat for 2 minutes. You can use a hand mixer or mix with a spoon. It will start to thicken up.Fold in the cool whip until fully combined.
Dice up the Twix bars into bite sized pieces.
You can leave the skin on or peel your Granny Smith Apples. Either way it will taste the same. Dice the apples into bite sized pieces. You can use any variety of apple you like. We like the tart and balanced flavor of Granny Smith apples, mixed with the sweet pudding, whipped topping, and candy bars.
Fold the Twix bars and apple chunks into the pudding mixture.
The candy bars and apples fold in nice and easy. Try to resist from eating this as you prepare it. It’s so good. We may know how hard this step is from sneaking a bite or two! Refrigerate until set and drizzle caramel topping over all before serving.
It’s that simple and it’s now ready to serve to your guests and they will be hooked after one amazing bite.

How far ahead can you make this salad before the apple turns? It sounds amazing!!
-
Cyd says:
You should be fine to make it the night before and serve the next day. I wouldn't make it any sooner than that. You'll want it to be fresh.

Diann says:
If you don’t have jut allergies, use snickers bars instead of Twix!

Does it matter if I use sugar-free pudding mix?
-
Cyd says:
We have not used Sugar Free pudding for this recipe.

Julie K says:
Can you substitute milk for the buttermilk?
-
Cyd says:
You should be fine using regular milk. The buttermilk gives it a rich and creamy taste.
-
Kerri says:
I can only find 3.4 oz or 5.1 oz boxes of instant pudding. Is this a typo by chance, or has the box size changed?
-
Momma Cyd says:
Boxes have shrunk over the years. You can use a large box or two small boxes for this recipe.
