Snickers Salad

This is my kind of salad.

Snickers Salad

6 large granny smith apples

lemon juice

12 snickers bars

2 C. heavy cream, sweetened and whipped

1/2 C. chopped peanuts

1/2 C. caramel sauce

Chop apples and toss with a few T. lemon juice. Chop snickers bars into pieces the same size as the apples. Toss apples and snickers with whipped cream. Top with nuts and drizzle with caramel. You'll be the most popular person at the potluck. :)

Maren and I first tried this water at a spa a couple summers ago- it was refreshing and delicious. I was recently reminded of it at This Week for Dinner. This sounds especially good today- these past couple weeks have been too hot to think.
