Tips & Variations

• Use tart apples like Granny Smith to balance the sweetness and add a refreshing crunch.
• For a nut-free version, substitute Snickers bars with chopped chocolate or caramel candies.
• Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts for extra texture.

Storage

Store Snicker Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. It’s best eaten fresh as the apples may soften and the Snickers can lose some texture over time. If needed, give it a gentle stir before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of apple?

Yes, you can substitute Granny Smith apples with any firm apple variety like Honeycrisp or Fuji, though tart apples provide the best balance to the sweetness.

Is it necessary to chill the salad before serving?

Chilling allows the pudding to set and flavors to meld, making the salad more refreshing and cohesive. Serving it cold is recommended for the best texture and taste.
