What?? It’s a real thing – I swear. (Imagine a caramel apple.) I saw this recipe on Made the other day. (dang-it. I love that blog.) She has a lovely picture tutorial. She takes the prettiest pictures. You should check it out over there.
But, I will give you the basics……
You need:
Granny Smith Apples
Cool Whip
Snickers bars
Chop apples and snickers……try to make them the same small bite-sized pieces. Add Cool Whip and mix it all up. Eat it. Be a hero. I brought it to a family dinner at my brothers house and it was GONE. It is the perfect thing to bring to a party.
I used 5 apples and about 10 fun size Snickers. Next time I will use more Snickers or less apples. 🙂 There wasn’t a piece of chocolate in every bite and I feel like there should be. I read the comments on her blog and many people have made this same recipe with vanilla pudding instead of cool whip – but I really like cool whip.
The other thing I did after reading the comments was to squeeze a lime (i didn’t have a lemon) on the apples after I chopped them. I’m not sure how much juice will keep them from browning – but I used almost the whole lime for 5 apples and that was WAY too much lime. The salad was still gobbled up – but would have been better without all that lime. But, I don’t think brown apples would be very appetizing either. Maybe a lemon wouldn’t taste as tart?
I love this recipe – it’s great for a summery dessert or for fall …since it tastes like a caramel apple. Plus I really enjoy calling something with Cool Whip and Snickers in it a salad!

I actually mix vanilla pudding and cool whip! Its lovely! I also purchased everything to make the pumpkin pasta last week but haven’t brought myself to make it yet. I am scared to spring it on my hubby :o)

Hahaha – Kevin acted like I was CRAZY when I was making it. I kept telling him it was a real thing. He acted like it was a nutty southern recipe! Glad to know it made it up north as well!

And you can swap out the snickers for any candy bar you want, right?
Erin says
YES! Any would work. Let me know if you tried it with another kind.
