Candy Apple Trifle

This is like Snickers and a Candy Apple had a lovechild! Seriously! It's so addicting and refreshing too! This dessert is always a hit wherever I take it. It's super easy to put together too and the best part is: it's a No-Bake recipe!

This can be made in one large Trifle bowl or as small individual servings.  I recommend serving it the same day you make it for the best flavor and presentation. 

This is a recipe from my second cookbook "The Saint's Plate & The Sinners Dinner" available here on my website or on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
