Snickers Taffy Apple Salad
Every bite of this creamy dessert salad tastes just like a crunchy taffy apple … with little nibbles of Snickers candy! Fresh apples and roasted peanuts are bathed in vanilla cream dressing, then mixed with caramelly Snickers bits. Topped with caramel drizzle or left on its own, this sweet sensation will make your belly happy. Serve it up as a side dish, dessert, or for a “treat yourself” snack!

Open in Pepper →Crisp Apples Make The Easiest Side Dish
A bag of apples and a bowl is about all it takes. Chop, stir, chill, and you have something crunchy and sweet to set beside whatever came out of the oven.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when they need a dish to pass at a potluck, a cold side for a hot supper, or something the kids will actually eat without arguing.
Every recipe here is built on chopped apples, from the Snickers Taffy Apple Salad and Caramel Apple Salad to greener plates like Kale + Apple Salad with Sweet Dressing, Broccoli Apple Salad, and Spinach and Apple Salad with Bacon and Pecans.
Quick Tips
- 1
Toss apples with lemon
Squeeze half a lemon over the chopped apples right after cutting so they stay pale and crisp for an hour or more.
- 2
Chill at least 30 minutes
Pudding and Cool Whip salads need 30 to 60 minutes in the fridge to set up and stop running on the plate.
- 3
Use two kinds of apples
Pair one tart Granny Smith with one sweet red or Honeycrisp so the bowl is not all sugar.
- 4
Add candy last
Stir in Snickers minis or bacon and pecans in the last 5 minutes so they stay chewy and crunchy instead of soft.
