Snickers Apple Salad
Snickers Apple Salad is such a delicious recipe, and it’s one that works well when made ahead of time, so it’s fantastic for house parties, potlucks, school parties, and block parties.
Only a few simple ingredients are needed: heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, cream cheese, chopped apples, snickers bars (the best part!), and a few other optional ingredients to personalize it to your preference.
You can use whatever type of apples you prefer, we enjoy the tartness of Granny Smith with the sweetness of the other ingredients. I will typically use a mixture of Granny Smith with Red Delicious or Gala.
You can also swap the whipping cream for cool whip, the powdered sugar/cream cheese for your favorite flavor of pudding mix, etc. Feel free to get creative with it!
The whole thing can be drizzled with caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, chopped peanuts, or even marshmallows!
I hope your family and friends enjoy this Snickers Apple Salad Recipe as much as mine do!

Mishelle
Calvin says
Interesting. The combination is something I would never have thought of. I like snickers.
Deb Pelletier says
I love snickers but not in a salad.
Orla says
I have not tried this but wow! What an interesting idea. My family all love snickers. And we have the best apples here in western Michigan. The Northern Spy apples do not grow everywhere, but a local orchard has them and they are so tart and tasty. Thank you for this great idea. I have to try this, when I can get some fresh apples!
Jennifer Sparks says
Wow, what a combination! You really come up with some creative recipes. I wonder what this would be like with the apples baked, and then the snickers added for the last 5 min oven time. probably too juicy, but, I’m craving warm baked apples with melted snickers on them now. Not that My keto bum can have it, but you know.
Judy Cox says
My husband would love this. I couldn’t enjoy it because of the heavy cream!!
Melissa Storms says
Oh my goodness, this looks delicious. I really like the apple salad with raisins and shredded carrot but the Snickers just makes this a next level, must try for me.
Nancy says
This isn’t something I would eat but it’s definitely unique & looks fun. 🙂
Leela says
That looks like it would taste like a caramel apple!
