    FAQS

    What are the best apples to use?

    Granny Smith apples are crisp and tart. You want apple with tartness to help balance the sweetness.  You can use other apples like Fuji, Gala, Red delicious, Cortland apples, Pink Lady, Melrose.

    Can I use other candy bars?

    Snickers candy bar are great but you can also use other candy bars like Twix, Milky way, Rolos, 3 Musketers.

    Can I make the salad ahead?

    Though you can make snickers salad a day ahead of time, I highly recommend you make it and enjoy it the same day, within few hours of making while apples are still crisp and fresh.
    Having said that, yes you can make this salad ahead of time.

    You will need to treat the apples to prevent it from oxidation and turning brown, remember treating apples may change the flavor and taste of apples. You can do this by tossing fresh chopped apples with 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice for 5 minutes, drain, rinse and pat dry.

    Other ways to treat apples so they don’t oxidize are soaking it in ginger ale or 7 up for about 5 minutes, then drain rinse and pat dry.

    Once treated the salad can be stored for 2 days.

    How to store left over salad?

    Store leftover snickers salad covered in fridge for up to 2 days. Storing might make the salad a bit watery from the apples. Before serving stir it up and serve.
