Snickers Salad
Salad.
It’s not my favorite food group.
I eat it because you’re supposed to.
BUT I also have to say when I eat salad, I generally load it up with things like cheese, and bacon and ranch dressing, which I’m guessing might cancel out all the salady aspects.
I’m doing my best people.
Also, the only lettuce I like is iceberg. If I’m going out on a limb I might choose some romaine.
Those fancy “leafy greens” aren’t making it to my plate.
I made the executive decision to banish leafy greens from my life.
And please, I don’t judge you for eating them, so hold your judgement at my choice to put them in a permanent time out.
I gave them a shot.
They failed.
End of story.
BUT there might just be a new salad in my life.
Scratch that. There IS a new salad in my life.
Iceberg has been replaced.
By Snickers.
Yes, this is real life.
Snickers Salad.
I first saw this insanity a few years ago on my friend Bridget’s site.
Bridget, being the ladylike girl she is, used tons of apples in her salad.
I’m not quite as dainty.
I’m a more stick to your ribs, kinda girl.
So I changed it up a little…because fruit, like leafy greens, really has no place in salad.
How to Make Snickers Salad
In my version you’ll need cream cheese, powdered sugar, Whipped Topping, Snickers, marshmallows and fine, a few apples.
Mix your cream cheese and powdered sugar until it’s smooth and creamy.
Fold in your Whipped Topping.
Chop up some Snickers…
And the two apples, skin and all…
Then fold all that and your marshmallows into your cream cheese mixture.
That’s totally it.
Salad finally became cool.

Hi! I’m Shelly and I’m an addict. Of the buttercream sort. I started this site a few years ago as a way to justify my sugary, buttery obsession with desserts. It has worked out well for me so far, because as it turns out you guys all love sugary, buttery desserts too! It feels good to know you're not alone, doesn’t it?

I grew up with this salad being at every potluck and event I attended. I haven’t had it in years!!
Trouble maker! Just when I was getting used to a nice green salad, along comes snicker salad. Green salad will always look second-rate compared to this. 🙂
I saw this on Pinterest and have been thinking about it ever since. This must happen soon!
This is awesome, I’ve never seen anything like it! Who WOULDN’T love this salad?!
Haha…this is awesome! I’ll eat my salad today if it is this! 😉
Sounds healthy to me!!
My favorite kind of salad in the whole wide world!!!!
Almost like a loaded caramel apple in a bowl!!!
that totally has to be on my plate and SOON.
Like YUUMM!
I mean, a girl needs a salad every now and then…it’s a detox thing.
{{Thanks for the link love!}}
I’m looking for a cute apple cookie or blue bird cookie to make for an up coming party and came across your site. To my surprise I read salad.. WHAT?..then I saw snickers in a salad. I just had to read what this was about..glad I did. 🙂 Thanks for a salad recipe I’m sure the kids will like..even the big ones!
A tip for this salad, is to freeze the mini snickers bars first, then put them in a zip lock bag and then break them apart with a hammer or meat tenderizer. It’s much easier than trying to cut them up and them getting all “melty”. Also throw a little lemon juice and water in a bowl, toss the apple slices in there, and then they wont go brown.
It’s like taffy apple salad only better.
I can’t wait to give it try. This looks perfect for summer BBQ season!
PS- have you seen the GIANT snickers bars? Like, the size of your arm kind of giant?? They’re called “Slice and Share” and I keep seeing them at CVS. I’m sure you could do something amazing with that thing…
My favorite salad is loaded with fried chicken. So, yeah… probably not super healthy either 😉
This salad looks great!! I made a similar salad with Samoas Cookies instead of snickers and it worked! –just imagine the possibilities! All the stuff you could coat in cream cheese and cool whip and then call SALAD!!! It’s just a brilliant recipe.
I had to laugh at you and your fruit-in-baked-goods aversion. At least we can agree on our mutual love of snickers!
Oh my goodness! This is my new favorite salad 🙂 …I may have to eat salad every day now!
This is most definitely my kind of salad…move on over spinach! No room here for you!!! I love this salad more than I should every time I make it:-)
Yum! I’ve made this before, but it didn’t have marshmallows.
I adore this salad. It is in one of my mother-in-laws old church cookbooks and I have had it jotted down for so long but have never made it at home. It’s such a treat though. This is definitely a salad I am on board for!
Wow! I used to think Pistachio Salad that we have at family dinners was a dessert salad, but this is a DESSERT salad and it sounds amazing!
YES! A salad I can get down with.
Shelly, i LOVE snickers salad! I made it for my friends bridal shower once and it was a HIT! everyone loved it. I threw some pecans in mine too.
Our family loves Snicker Salad, it’s all every family gathering. We do ours a bit differently and use instant pudding instead of the powdered sugar and cream cheese.
This is definitely one of our favorite ways to eat salad. Drizzle some caramel ice cream topping on there, too. 🙂
Oh, I have to share this one with my facebook page peeps! My father was a HUGE snickers fan. We celebrate his birthday every year by eating one…or two or three. Now I can say I’m celebrating in a healthy way. 😀
I’m not gonna lie, I totally freaked out ahen I saw green in your Snickers Salad. Green and snickers…no. But apples I can do. This sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!!
OH MY HEAVENS!
Isn’t the combination of snickers and apples amazing in a salad? I’ve been making a slightly different version of this I found several years ago and it’s really addicting! This sounds fabulous!
Can I just say — that top photo is the most gorgeous thing I’ve ever seen! I got so distracted by it I almost forgot to read the rest of the post.
Sounds easy and delicious. Just may have to make this next weekend!
I grew up on this stuff at summer bbq’s and potlucks. My mom and grandma made some mean Snickers salad back in the day. Yours brings back great memories!
This really sounds like something Buddy the elf would eat. Just missing syrup.
