The idea of a Snickers salad might sound strange but it makes a delicious dessert. This salad is great to bring to parties or events. If you are not familiar with this salad, it combines Snickers candy bars, granny smith apples, cool whip, powdered sugar, and cream cheese. It is important to soften the cream cheese and to let the cool whip thaw before mixing them together. After the salad is mixed it can be topped off with caramel ice cream topping, peanuts, and additional chopped Snickers bars. If you need to feed a large crowd this recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Enjoy.

Need to check the recipe as some of it is missing. It just says 1 cup, but does not say what. Glad I read the whole blog as I would not have guessed what the one cup was. I have not heard of this recipe before but really sounds good.

Why would you need raisins? Perfect the way it is.

Raisins would ruin it. I had this salad at a graduation party and it is to die for.
