Candy Bar Salad

If Candy Bar salad sounds like some sort of new fangled concoction, think again! Candy Bar Salad has been kicking around since at least 1926 as this Ladies Home Journal advertorial for Oh Henry! candy bars shows. In this adaptation I've pared it down to the basics: tart Granny Smith apple slices, Snickers pieces, caramel drizzle, and homemade whipped cream—no lettuce leaves, mayo or Cool Whip required!
Note: You're welcome to sub in any candy that you think will go well with apples and caramel. If you feel like making your caramel sauce from scratch, give this recipe a try.
