Fluffy Snicker Dessert

6 apples
6 Snicker bars
1 box of instant pudding (vanilla, butterscotch, or chocolate)
2 containers of Cool Whip

Place the cool whip in a large enough bowl to add the remaining ingredients.
Then add the instant pudding to the Cool Whip and Do Not Mix with milk.
Cut up the apples and candy bars into small pieces and put with the Cool Whip
mixture.
I added extra candy bar pieces to the top of the dessert and then drizzled it with
caramel topping. But you can skip this step or add other toppings – just what ever
you have in your cupboard at the time. It’s pretty forgiving.

Easy Chicken Soup

1. Remove chicken from the bones and tear up into smaller pieces
2. Add 2 boxes soup stock (I used 2 of the 32 ounce sizes)
3. I added 2 carrots cut up, 2 stalks of celery cut up,1 small onion, and some garlic. Honestly, you can add as much or as little of these things that you like.
4. Then it looked a little runny and I knew that Daryl hates homemade noodles, so I added a packet of the pasta mixes that you can usually get on sale for a $1. I had creamy chicken with noodles and into the pot it went. I left it simmer for about 30 minutes and just like that it was done.
5. I almost forgot. I also added some butter to the soup 🙂
