Apple Snicker Salad

When it comes to no-bake desserts, this snicker apple salad is one of the best out there. It’s super easy to make, comes together quickly and has all of my favorite flavors. It’s similar to my snickers caramel apple pie, but without the crust. And trust me, you won’t even miss it!

This snicker apple salad AKA candy bar salad is the perfect side dish or dessert for any potluck or parties. It’s always a hit with both kids and adults and is the perfect creamy, sweet and salty combo.

It almost reminds me of a caramel apple, but in pudding form. It’s hard to explain, but just trust me. It’s so good! Plus it couldn’t be easier to make. Only 5 ingredients needed and it’s ready in just 15 minutes. You need this recipe in your life!

Only 5 Ingredients!

  • Instant vanilla pudding mix
  • Milk
  • Cool whip
  • Granny smith apples
  • Snicker candy bars

How to Make Snickers Salad

MIX. Whisk together the pudding and milk, then let sit for about 3 minutes. Once thickened, mix in the cool whip. Then stir in the chopped apples and snickers until combined.

CHILL. Once everything is mixed together, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.

SERVE. I like to add extra apples and chopped snickers on top prior to serving. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips

  • You can mix up the pudding mix flavor and use white chocolate or butterscotch as well.
  • To lighten it up, you could also use yogurt.
  • Feel free to add more fruit (such as grapes) and nuts for an extra crunch.
  • You can use the whole container of cool whip, but using 3/4 of the container works best for me.
  • Mini marshmallows would also taste delicious added in. I’d use about 1/2 to 3/4 cup.
  • A drizzle of caramel would be delicious on top of the salad before serving.

Storage

This snicker salad tastes best if served the same day. I wouldn’t recommend making it the day before, as the apples could get soggy and brown. It also doesn’t freeze very well, so make sure to eat it all up the same day you make it (which isn’t a hard task!).
