Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best, chopped)
Sweets & Dairy
- 4 regular Snickers bars (chopped)
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (12 oz) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (optional for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Creamy Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together using a mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Add Whipped Topping and Vanilla: Stir in the whipped topping and vanilla extract gently, mixing until everything is fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Fold in Apples and Snickers: Carefully fold the chopped apples and chopped Snickers bars into the cream mixture, making sure the fruit and candy are evenly distributed without breaking them down too much.
- Transfer and Spread: Move the combined mixture into a serving dish and spread it out evenly to create a flat surface.
- Drizzle Caramel (Optional): If desired, drizzle the caramel sauce over the top to add an extra layer of sweetness and flavor.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the Snickers salad for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and the salad to firm up slightly.
Notes
- For best texture, use crisp apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp.
- Chopped Snickers bars add a delightful crunch and chocolatey flavor.
- Can be prepared a few hours in advance and kept refrigerated.
- Caramel sauce is optional but recommended for added richness.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
