This is one of those oldie, but goodie recipes I tend to forget about. I was talking to a friend recently who said her kids always request strawberry pretzel salad every Easter. If she doesn’t make it, their disappointed. I was perplexed. “Really, they ask for pretzel salad? I haven’t had strawberry pretzel salad in ages.” It used to be one of those staple recipes someone would inevitably bring to a potluck. I would stare at it with trepidation until someone would say, “It’s really good. You should try it.” It looks strange, but it tastes good like this snicker salad.
One day out of the blue, my daughter requested snicker salad. Between the two of us, we polished off most of it. Cool Whip screams summer to me and with apple season fast approaching, I thought you might like this recipe if you don’t already own it. Or maybe you do and just forgot about it like me.
This snicker salad is quick and easy to mix together. I’ve revised this post since it’s original posting because I didn’t think the former picture did it justice. I also added some Health Toffee Bits to the top to give it that extra dash of deliciousness.
If you’ve never had strawberry pretzel salad and are curious you can visit the brown eyed baker. She shares a recipe for it. I’m thinking it just may be the next dessert salad I make.

oh my gosh…this is so addictive! Problem is….if there is any left over, I’ll hide it at the back of the fridge and wait ’til everyone leaves the house for work/school/whatever…..and eat it all myself! UGH! I can’t resist creamy dessert salads with little surprises of fruit, like bite of apple! I love to be bad.
It really is addictive. I love getting a bite of chewy snickers every now and then. I used the king size bars instead of the regular 🙂
On of my favorites!!! I like to pick all the snickers out when no one is looking 🙂
Me too! I even used the king size bars.
A family favorite!!!
Especially in the Fall!
Dawn, I don’t know how you do it, but your recipes always inspire me to want to cook!! This looks delicious!!
Stacey, you can easily make this and it’s addictive. No cooking required.
I’m pinning this receipe. I’m not sure about mixing the apples with snickers but everyone says it’s really good so I will give it a try.
I know it sounds weird, but I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Here is the link to Lauren’s Sweet 13 party https://www.joyfulscribblings.com/2012/05/sweet-13/
Sounds terrific. Snickers and apples are a perfect combo. But I need to get a few people together before I make it because I’d be at risk of eating the whole thing:)
Good idea Seana! It’s addictive!
