This became very popular in the late 1900s. This is my own version which includes miniature marshmallows and chopped peanuts.
1 (5 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding (dry, do not prepare)
1/2 cup milk
1 (12 ounce) container Cool Whip
2 cups miniature marshmallows
6 regular size Snickers Candy Bars, chopped
6 apples (Red Delicious or Granny Smith), chopped
1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
Chopped peanuts (garnish)
