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.

Snickers Apple SaladOnly 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!

    What a tasty combination! I love Snickers & can’t wait to fix this salad! Thanks for sharing!

  9. Gina Ferrell says

    I love Snickers! I’m not sure if I would like this but you really don’t know until you give it a try.

  11. Abigail Gibson says

    This has got to be one of the best recipes I have came across in awhile. I love Snickers. I can’t wait to make.

  17. Jayne Townsley says

    This seems similar to the “Waldorf” salad we used to have at parties when I was young.

  22. sheila ressel says

    Yum, this sounds mouthwatering! Can’t wait to make it. I’m sure it will be a big hit with my family.

  23. Rae Nelson says

    Sounds just delish! How unique and different and one kids would love! I make an apple salad but nowhere as near as yummy sounding as yours!

  25. Darlene Carbajal says

    I never heard of adding candy to a salad! It sounds so yummy! Now I can balance out my diet. Hahaha.

  30. Calvin says

    Interesting. The combination is something I would never have thought of. I like snickers.

  32. 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!

  33. 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.

  35. 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.
