Snickers bars, Granny Smith apples, whipped topping, marshmallows
Snickers salad is a dessert salad consisting of a mix of Snickers bars, Granny Smith apples, Cool Whip or whipped topping, marshmallows, and often pudding served in a bowl.[1][2] It is a potluck and party staple in the Upper Midwest of the United States, where the salad is popular alongside glorified rice, Watergate salad, jello salad and hotdish.[citation needed] It is sometimes included in church cookbooks.[3]
Snickers salad is easy to make; the ingredients are simply chopped and combined.[4] As to whether it is a salad or a dessert, popular lore has it that it depends on which end of the table it is sitting at.[3]
It has a rather unique texture being sticky, and crunchy. Clumps are known to get stuck in the teeth. This feature makes the experience of eating it divisive.[2]
The recipe for Snickers salad was included in a 2009 article "Salads worthy of a church picnic" in The Indianapolis Star. The author said that "Despite what all my community and church cookbooks would say, I don't think anything with marshmallows can really be called a salad."[5]
