Almond Snicker Salad

Cream Cheese Mixture:

* 2 containers of frozen Whipped Topping, one 16 ounce and one 8 ounce or 2 containers So Delicious Dairy Free Original CocoWhip, Vegan, 9 Oz., Tub at Walmart
*1- 2 packages Cream Cheese of your choice, I used one Greek Yogurt Cream Cheese, 8 ounces AND one 1/3 less fat Cream Cheese, 8 ounces OR two Daiya Dairy Free Plain Cream Cheese, Vegan, Refrigerated Rounds Tub, 8 oz. at Walmart

Thaw the Whipped Topping in the fridge and then mix with Cream Cheese. The less the fat in the Cream Cheese the easier it is to mix together in a large mixing bowl stir together 1 of the whipped toppings with the cream cheese. Set aside.

Apples & Snickers:

I like to fill a glass bowl with water and add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to it and then cut up apples in bite size pieces and place cut apples into the water until all apples are cut.

* 2 Honey Crisp Apples, cut in bite size pieces
* 2 Granny Smith Apples, cut in bite size pieces

Drain Apples from Lemon water and add the cut apples into Cream Cheese mixture. Then gently mix in all the cut Snickers.

*4-5 Almond Snicker Bars, share size, cut into bite size pieces

Add the second container of whipped topping to salad and fold together just before serving.

Serve.

Enjoy!
