The Best apple salad with snickers candy bar recipe

I love making this apple salad with Snickers candy bar because it is such a fun and easy dessert. It is perfect for potlucks, holidays, or just a weeknight treat. My kids go crazy for it, and I like that it has fresh fruit so it feels a little healthier than a regular candy bar. The crunch of the apples and the creamy caramel and nougat from the Snickers make a great combination. You get some fiber from the apples and a little protein from the nuts in the candy bar, so it is not all empty calories. I always get asked for the recipe whenever I bring it somewhere.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Apple Snickers Salad

1. Can I make this apple Snickers salad ahead of time?

You can prep the apples and dressing a few hours ahead and keep them separate. Add the dressing and Snickers bars just before serving to keep the apples from browning and the candy crunchy.

2. What kind of apples work best?

Granny Smith apples are great because they are tart and firm. Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady also work well. Avoid soft apples like Red Delicious.

3. How do I keep the apples from turning brown?

Toss the chopped apples with a little lemon juice or pineapple juice before adding the dressing. This will help them stay fresh looking for a couple of hours.

4. Can I use a different candy bar?

Yes, you can swap in Milky Way, Twix, or even a chocolate toffee bar. Just avoid anything with a lot of cookie or wafer that might get soggy.

5. Is this recipe gluten free?

Snickers bars are not certified gluten free, but they do not contain gluten ingredients. Check the package to be sure if you need it strictly gluten free. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten free.
