Snickers Salad

The first time I tasted this was at a church picnic and I absolutely loved the combination of the crunchy apples and the bits of chopped Snickers bars together. I have had other versions of this recipe that also add a box of instant pudding mix in with the Cool Whip, but for us it's far to sweet and totally masks the yummy apple flavor, so this is our favorite version of this salad. Yes, I realize this isn't the healthiest of salads, but with so many apples it almost balances it out. At least that's what I keep telling myself anytime I make it:)

Snickers Salad

2 (6.98 oz.) pkgs. Fun Size Snickers bars (about 24 fun size bars)
1 (16 oz.) tub Cool Whip, thawed
7-9 Fuji apples

Unwrap and chop the Snickers bars into about 8 pieces for each fun size bar and place into a large bowl. Core and chop the unpeeled apples into bite size pieces. Add the apples to the large bowl with the Snickers. Add the whipped topping and stir to thoroughly mix the ingredients. Cover and chill until ready to serve. This salad is best if served/eaten the same day it's made. The next day it will be a little bit soupy at the bottom, but is still good, just some of the liquid from the apples pieces has been pulled out.
