Tips and Tricks for snicker apple salad
- Switch up the apples! If you want a different taste to this snicker apple salad, switch up the variety of apple. If you want it sweeter, consider: gala, fuji or honey crisp. For a tart and sweet mixture consider: jazz, pink lady or jonagold.
- You can make this dish ahead of time, but be sure to “treat’ the apples to slow the browning process. We suggest adding lemon or lime juice (about 1 tablespoon) to 1 cup of water and soaking the diced apples for about 3 minutes. Then pat dry and continue with the recipe.

Snicker Apple Salad
This snicker apple salad is a beautifully layered dessert that is perfect for cookouts and backyard BBQs! Yes, it's just like Grandma used to make!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk cold
- 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 5 cups diced apple from about 6 small granny smith and honeycrisp apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups chopped Snickers candy bars from 5-6 king sized Snickers bars
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup caramel
Instructions
- Toss the diced apples with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a large bowl, combine the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth.
- Gently fold in the Cool Whip until incorporated.
- Fold in the diced apple, Snickers bars, and mini marshmallows into the pudding mixture, reserving 1/4 cup of Snickers for serving. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
- To serve, drizzle with caramel sauce and sprinkle with remaining diced Snickers bars.
Notes
- You can make this recipe dairy-free by using non-dairy milk, such as almond milk, non-dairy pudding mix (many are already dairy-free!), non-dairy whipped topping (CocoWhip is dairy-free), and dairy-free caramel sauce.
- You can use other flavors of pudding mix, such as butterscotch or caramel for this recipe.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 days. It’s best served in the same day for optimal texture.
- I used a combination of apples – honeycrisp and granny smith. Both are very crisp, which hold up well in the salad. I like the tartness from the granny smith and the crisp sweetness from the honeycrisp. The combination is great, but you can also just use one variety if you prefer.
- I prefer to leave the skin on my apples for this recipe. It adds additional texture. You can peel the apples if you prefer.
