How to Make Snickers Salad

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the chopped Snickers bars, diced green apples, whipped topping, miniature marshmallows, and chopped pecans (if you’re using them).

Step 2: Mix Gently

Gently mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined. Be careful not to mash the apples too much; you want to maintain that crisp texture!

You can serve the Snickers Salad immediately, but if you have some time, chill it in the refrigerator for about an hour before serving. Chilling helps the flavors meld together and makes it extra refreshing!
