This is another recipe from our Apple Dinner Party!

Layered Snicker Salad

Cream Cheese Mixture:

* 2 containers of frozen Whipped Topping, one 16 ounce and one 8 ounce
* 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.

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.

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 1/4 of the cut apples into Cream Cheese mixture. Then gently mix in 1/4 of the cut Snickers.

*2 bags fun size Snickers, cut into bite size pieces

Layer remaining cut Snickers and Apples around edges of a 2 quart glass Trifle Bowl and then put cream cheese mixture in the center that was mixed with the 1/4 of the Apples and Snickers.

Serve.
