For this recipe I only had to use 1 apple and 1 snickers bar but I could not get the whipped cream to stay firm. It kept getting runny even when I put it back in the freezer. Super yummy though!

I mix in 8 oz. of cream cheese with the whipped cream and I use granny smith apples. Sets up nicely. Now if I can just get the kids to not pick out all the snickers. One of my kids favorites.

I used Snickers peanut butter squared bars and chocolate flavored cool whip. The peanut butter was a great addition. It turned out great and I got a lot of compliments on it!

My mom and I have been making this for years, we use granny smith and add in a small can of crushed pineapple. Yum!

I add a package of vanilla pudding mix to the cool whip while combining, it makes the cool whip hold up a little better, I think! I have a standing request for this dish at family functions!

I love this recipe! It's super delicious, if you like sweet and sour candy you'll LOVE this sweet yummy stuff! I have a niece who asks for it every time she sees me! We can't stop eating it... until it's gone! I think I'm gonna make it for Thanksgiving... she'll appreciate it!

I added the pudding as stated by Lacy and I also added marshmallows, yummy.

I like this recipe because of the 1:1 ration of apples to Snickers bars -- others use less candy. I refrigerate the bars so they are firm, then I cut the candy small, and toss the apples and candy together. Then I fold in the Cool Whip. The more you stir the Cool Whip, the greater the chance it will start to run. Also, the salad should be refrigerated between when it is made and when it is served, or the Cool Whip could get runny.

I call this recipe AppleSnickaWhip

The reason the cool whip breaks down is because you freeze the snickers. Do not freeze them. Just cut them in small pieces. As they melt it waters down the cool whip.

i use dream whip it sets up very well

Marshmallow fluff works great in it so it stays more firm.

I'm wondering if you need to add any lemon juice to the apples? Also could you use Twix caramel bars chopped up? Sounds good or your favorite candy bar.

We make a Snickers salad that also includes marshmallow creme. Yummy!

When I make this, I always make a lot, with 6-8 apples, 8-10 Snickers. I do use about half a lemon for the juice, which keeps the apples from going brown so quickly. And along with the Snickers, I like to add a couple handfuls of sweetened flaked coconut and a couple handfuls of mini marshmallows.
