# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's indulgent without requiring any baking skills or fancy kitchen tools.
  • People at potlucks always ask for the recipe—it's become my secret weapon.
  • You can have it ready in 15 minutes flat, yet it tastes like you spent hours on it.
02 -
  • Don't assemble this hours ahead; the apples will brown and the texture will turn mushy if they sit too long in the creamy mixture.
  • A whisk is your friend for the pudding—a fork just doesn't get the lumps out fast enough.
03 -
  • Chop your Snickers bars right before mixing so they don't soften or get sticky—cold bars are easier to work with.
  • Use a cold bowl straight from the fridge to keep everything as cold as possible while you're assembling.
