Snickers Salad (caramel apple salad)

1 large tub of cool whip
1 large package of vanilla instant pudding
1 cup of milk (for the pudding)
1 bag of fun size snickers or 3 super size snickers, cut into small chunks
3 green apples, cut into small chunks
3 red apples, cut into small chunks

In a large bowl, mix up the pudding and then combine it with the cool whip. Add the snickers and then the apples. Note: cut the apples after you have mixed the other ingredients so that they aren't brown when you add them.
