A delicious, seasonal dessert salad- Caramel Apple Snickers Salad features crisp apples, diced candies and marshmallows tossed in a sweet, creamy whipped dressing. Topped with a drizzle of smooth caramel, it’s an easy treat that doesn’t skimp on Fall flavor and is perfect for a crowd, even potlucks or parties.
So a few weekends we made our annual trek to the apple orchard.
If you were here for the Apple Week event, you probably saw some of the yummy treats we made with the bushel we brought home.
There were some real winners, like Roasted Apple White Cheddar Soup, Apple Pie Pancakes, and even a recipe for Quick & Easy Apple Cider Glazed Donuts.
But there was one thing that’s a tradition, that we didn’t mention. Our Caramel Apple Snickers Salad.
The boys all look forward to having this for dessert when we come home from the orchard, and this year was no different.
It was Son # 2’s first question when we pulled onto the highway to head home. Did we have all the necessary ingredients?
We did not. So I stopped at the grocery store on the way home, he ran in, and bought the extras we needed, with his own money, to make a batch right away.
I love how easy this is to prepare and how it takes advantage both of the fantastic prices on fresh picked apples, but also the sales on candy in anticipation of Halloween.
Cheap and easy? That’s my kind of dessert!
Inundated with apples after an orchard trip?
