Description
Snickers Salad is a sweet and creamy dessert ‘salad’ made with chopped Snickers bars, tart apples, whipped topping, and pudding. It’s a Midwestern potluck classic — easy to make, nostalgic, and always a crowd favorite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 full-size Snickers bars, chopped
- 4 large Granny Smith apples, chopped
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- Optional: caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together instant pudding mix and milk until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, gently stir together chopped apples and Snickers bars.
- Pour the pudding mixture over the apples and Snickers, and fold everything together until evenly coated.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
- Drizzle with caramel sauce just before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness of the Snickers and pudding.
- For a richer version, use cheesecake-flavored pudding instead of vanilla.
- Best enjoyed the same day; apples may brown if stored too long.
- Garnish with extra chopped Snickers or nuts for added texture.
