Candy Bar Salad is a creamy mixture of apples, Snickers, whipped topping, pudding…..need I go on? Can you really call it a salad if it has candy in it? I love the texture of the apples and snickers against the creaminess of the whipped topping/pudding mixture, they all blend well in this recipe.
I used Snickers in this recipe, but feel free to use Take 5, 3 Muskateers or Pay Day. Jonagold was my apple of choice for this recipe, but any crisp, tart apple would work. The ingredient that takes this salad over the top is definitely the caramel sauce that you drizzle over the top. It’s like eating a caramel apple pie with whipped topping on it but you don’t spend as much time making this recipe as you would a pie.
Keep this recipe in mind for a family get together, a pot luck or a quick week day dessert recipe.
