Reese’s Apple Salad is amazing with little bits of Reese’s in each bite, paired with the granny smith apples. So we have had Snickers in our apple salad before, but my favorite candy bar is Reese’s, so I decided to switch this salad up just a bit. And it was fantastic.
This is the time of year when apples are abundant and fall is in the air. Perfect for trying this salad that you can have put together in about 10 minutes.
However if you are not a big fan of Reese’s, I will forgive you and you can add whatever candy bar is your favorite. I assure you that your friends and family are going to love this salad. You could even use it as a dessert if you wanted.
