Snickers Caramel Apple Salad (not-so-salad, oh-so-dessert)

Happy 4th of July Holiday weekend!

Thought I'd share a fun dish to take to a potluck. A few years ago, I fell in love with this at a chili cookoff.  I subsequently played around with the recipe each time I attended a potluck that year and finally hit upon a winner. Delish! This is a salad by name only, so totally dessert.  Let's face it: a salad with Snickers?  Don't even think about calories, fat, or carbs; but it has plenty of FIBER!  Plus appeal (and a-peel) for all ages. :}

Snickers Caramel Apple Salad - 105580 - Recipezaar

http://www.recipezaar.com/ is the first cooking/recipe website I joined years ago before there were a gazillion.  I've strayed, searched and tried others, but always go back to RecipeZaar.  Love it.   

Second choice recipe site: http://www.kraftfoods.com/
Excellent family everyday recipes plus cool party recipes, many very simple - gotta love that!
Here's a simple recipe for Red Lobster Cheesy Garlic Biscuits - another good potluck item:

And their 4th of July idea page:

If you've ever seen their magazine Food & Family, it's packed with great recipes and how-to's.  So many ideas.  It used to be a free subscription, now it's still pretty cheap ($14/year).  The kraft website has all the same recipes I think, but the magazine is fun to breeze through and see gorgeous photos.

Happy Potlucking, Happy Cooking!
