This super simple Apple Snickers Salad recipe is a sweet and tart dessert salad, easily made in 10 minutes with a packet of vanilla pudding, milk, whipped cream, apples, Snickers, and caramel sauce.

Snickers caramel apple salad
A Snickers Salad is not your typical dressed greens that comes before dinner; even though it does contain green color, it’s more of a dessert than a meal starter.
Making this snicker apple salad is as simple as dicing fresh fruit and candy into bite-sized pieces, then mixing it with an easy pudding mixture and garnishing with a drizzle of caramel sauce.
I love how the tart apple flavor balances out the sweetness of the other ingredients in this apple snicker dessert.
With plenty of pieces of the peanut-caramel-nougat bar in every delicious bite, don’t let the title deceive you because this candy apple salad should be served after supper!

Is that 13.4 oz of pudding?
Thank you, Lynn. That was a typo in the recipe card. It should be 1 – 3.4 box of pudding. I just fixed it! Thank you again for letting me know!
