Snickers Salad!

 

This "Snickers Salad" is more dessert than salad, but in the South we like to call such creamy concoctions 'salads'.   I would say it's to make us feel less guilty about eating such things, but we don't live with a lot of guilt when it comes to food to begin with...lol.  I like that about southerners!

This is a 'salad' that most anyone will eat... the kids will love it as well as the adults.   We call this "Snicker's Salad", but I actually think you could make it with any type of candy bar you like!

Here is what you need:

8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 (3oz.) pkg. instant vanilla pudding
2 cups cold milk
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring
8 oz. frozen whipped topping
4 medium size apples, unpeeled and diced

20 fun sized Snickers candy bars or 4 regular size, chopped in pieces  (you can use another candy bar, like Milky Way, Reeses, Three Musketeers if you prefer that) 

With a mixer beat the cream cheese.  Add the pudding mix, milk and vanilla and beat just until it starts to thicken.  

Fold in the whipped cream, apples, and candy bar pieces until it is all mixed together. 

Fold together to combine and place in a pretty serving bowl.  Garnish the top with some of the apple and candy bar pieces!   Refrigerate 1-2 hours before serving to allow it to set up some!!!

Enjoy!  It's amazing! This is great for holidays! 

Banana Split Fluff!

This "Banana Split Fluff" is a creamy and scrumptious fruit salad that goes together so quick and easy!   This is one of those dessert 'salads' we are so fond of in the South!  

 Here is what you will need:

1  (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk (like Eagle Brand)

1  (12 oz.) container frozen whipped topping

1 (21 oz.) can of cherry pie filling

3 bananas, peeled and sliced

1 (20 oz.) can of pineapple tidbits, drained

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut

9 maraschino cherries, drained

In a  large mixing bowl, blend the sweetened condensed milk with the frozen whipped topping until smooth.  Fold in the cherry pie filling, bananas, pineapple and pecans.  Place in a pretty bowl for serving. 

Garnish the top with coconut and maraschino cherries . We also add a sprig of mint for color.  Chill until ready to serve!

It's really pretty salad!

If you serve it in a parfait glass, it makes it even more fun and festive! 

The kids will love this one!
