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.

If leaving the apples out of this, could it be frozen for later use or will it get all gross?
Making this for a play date tomorrow morning… can I make it tonight to bring (play date is at 10 am) or do I need to make it in the morning so the chocolate doesn’t run and the apples turn brown?
I find it best if made and served same day, but one overnight is probably fine!
So today is a marching band camp day. I took the girls a couple jumbo boxes of Drumsticks to share with their friends for dessert at lunch. Bonus Mom Points. Ate one myself for lunch on the way to the grocery store. Made a nice dinner for my hard working family and made this special salad to go with Mel’s Kitchen Cafe White Chicken and Spinach Lasagna. It will look lovely on the side. I chose a smaller Tupperware to store it in than I had made, because after I ate the Drumstick only for lunch, I thought I probably should eat a salad too. It was OK. 😉 I can probably stand to eat some more for dinner.
Now THIS is my kind of salad! I make homemade snickers bars that would be AH-MAZING in this…. Thanks for the fat happy idea!
