Candy Apple Snickers Salad has just FIVE ingredients! It’s an easy, quick dessert to throw together and can be tailored to your tastes.
I just scarfed down that entire serving of Candy Apple Snickers Salad. I might have been too embarrassed to admit it except that it was sooo good; plus, it has apples in it so it could almost be called breakfast. Why do you think I called it a “salad”? That’s right…so I can eat some for lunch, too 🙂
Why You’ll love this Snickers Salad
Easy to Make – This Snickers Salad recipe is so easy to make and has just five ingredients. It’s much easier to make than candy apples, too, not to mention it’s easier and tastier to eat.
Tastes Amazing – It tastes a sort of like a candy apple but with whipped cream and chocolate thrown in. The texture from the Snickers with the crunchy apple, sweet and salty caramel, and the smooth whipped cream is heavenly!
Versatile – This is one of those “just throw it all together” recipes, using more or less of certain ingredients as you like. Sometimes more apple is nice so you’re still being “good” while other times loading up on the chocolate and caramel seems more the way to go. You can also swap out the Snickers for your favorite candy bar such as Butterfinger or Twix. Snickers Salad is easily adaptable so just go with what you like best; you’re sure to hit the mark with this one.
Apple Snicker Salad Ingredients
- Granny smith apples: These apples are perfectly firm, hold up with other toppings and add just the right amount of tartness.
- Snickers candy bars: The star of the show!
- Sugar or Truvia Baking Blend: I have made this with both sugar also used Truvia Baking Blend in place of sugar to cut down even more on calories; try it out if you’re looking to do that, too!
- Heavy whipping cream: The sugar and whipping cream create whipped cream. You can use store bought too.
- Salted caramel sauce: Use store bought or homemade caramel sauce.
