What Makes It “Better”?

Well, aside from the name that turns heads at every gathering, this salad is an addictive blend of sweet fruit, creamy pudding, whipped topping, and crunchy bits of candy or cookie — all tossed together in one luscious bowl.

It’s cold, light, and satisfying without being too heavy. Think ambrosia salad meets trifle — but sassier and more fun.

How to Make It

1. Mix the Cream Base

In a large bowl, gently fold the dry pudding mix into the whipped topping until smooth and creamy. This forms the luscious base that ties it all together.

2. Add the Fruit

Gently stir in the pineapple, mandarin oranges, bananas, and strawberries. Fold carefully to avoid crushing the fruit.

3. Add the Extras

Mix in the mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, and nuts if using. The different textures make each bite more interesting.

4. Top and Chill

Sprinkle crushed Butterfinger, toffee bits, or graham cracker crumbs over the top just before serving. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour before serving — the flavors only get better as it sits.
