Here’s Why This Recipe is one of the Best Surprises EVER

First of all, when I came across something that said ‘Cookie Salad’, I almost instantly clicked on it. I’m a coconut-lover, but my boyfriend like many others that I know, are not. So, instead of adding in the coconut cream pudding, you may opt to just add in double vanilla or any other flavor that would go well with all of the other fruity and creamy flavors that are a part of this salad! Eat up!
