Got Snickers? Make Snicker Apple Salad

When my three boys were growing up, and would come home from trick or treating, the first thing that they did was to sit on the floor and dump the contents of their bags on the floor. Then they preceded to "trade" their candies back and forth. This one liked Three Musketeers, the other one didn't. Another one liked Baby Ruth,. the other one didn't. You get the idea  Once they had divvied up their candy, they put it in separate bowls, which I took and put away to dole out each day.  We always had a lot of Snickers, so many in fact I would put them in cookies. If I would have had  this recipe back in the day, I would have made this one.

This "salad" is so  easy to make.  I use the term salad loosely, because it has whipped topping and Snickers in it , so it could go either way, salad or dessert..  It is fairly "healthy", because it does have apples in it. I used Jonagold apples, but you can use any apples that you have on hand,  I also used the fat free whipped topping, but if you don't have to worry about fat in recipes. make whipped cream. The first time that  I made this  was for Thanksgiving one year, and my nieces loved it.  Now, I have to make it every year. This salad could be addicting, just saying. It's a good way to have portion control with those Snickers. Depending on how many Snickers, and apples you have, you can vary the amounts.enjoy!

Snicker Apple Salad 

4-5 apples cored and  sliced in chunks 
1Tbsp. Lemon juice to keep apples from turning brown
8 "fun size" Snickers, chopped, more or less
1 8 oz container of  whipped topping, defrosted


Combine apples and lemon juice  in large bowl, and mix thoroughly. Fold in Snicker pieces and whipped topping until well mixed.  Refrigerate until serving time.
