Ingredients You’ll Need
- 3-4 crisp apples (such as Granny Smith or Fuji), chopped
- 3-4 Snickers bars, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz whipped topping (or whipped cream)

- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, for extra crunch)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
How to Make Caramel Apple Snickers Salad
1. Prepare the Apples:
Wash, core, and chop the apples into bite-sized pieces. Toss them in a little lemon juice if you want to prevent browning.
2. Mix the Creamy Base:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the whipped topping until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla extract if using.
3. Combine Ingredients:
Fold the chopped apples and Snickers pieces gently into the creamy mixture. Be careful not to crush the apples.
4. Add Caramel Sauce:
Pour half of the caramel sauce into the salad and fold it in evenly.
5. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Before serving, drizzle with extra caramel sauce and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
