Apple Snickers Salad. It just sounds AMAZING, doesn’t it! When we first moved to our neighborhood 10 years ago, we got invited to a neighbor’s backyard BBQ. There were 3 other families there and each of us brought a side dish or a dessert. One family brought this ridiculous yummy snicker salad dessert! One bite and I was sold. I asked what this dessert was called and they told me Apple Snickers Salad. They couldn’t believe I had never heard of a snicker apple salad before.
What’s in Apple Snickers Salad?
It’s super simple to make this dessert. This recipe contains the following 3 ingredients:
- Snickers Bars
- Granny Smith Apples
- Cool Whip
How Do I Make Apple Snickers Salad?
This is going to be one of the easiest desserts you’re ever going to make. There is one preliminary step you need to take before making this salad. You need to freeze the snicker bars before you start chopping them. Once the snickers bars are frozen, chop the apples and then chop the Snickers bars into bite size pieces. I recommend leaving the peelings on the apples.
Next, add the chopped apples, Snickers pieces, and the tub of cool whip into a large bowl. Fold together with a spatula until combined.
After the salad is mixed, cover with saran wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before serving.
And that’s it! So simple! The hardest thing about this snicker apple salad recipe is that you have to wait for the Snickers bars to freeze.
