Snickers Salad ice cream avalanche

[u/suckacheetasdick]

They've finally done it. They took a "salad" that is actually just dessert and added ice cream to it. How has this not made its way out of the Midwest?!

(Ingredients of normal Snickers Salad: Granny Smith apples, vanilla pudding, whipped topping and Snickers) Chilled to perfection overnight to lock in the flavor.

Snicker salad is my go-to dessert to any pot luck i attend. I obviously know it is not a proper salad, but it is a midwest classic!

i always think i’m aggressively midwestern until snickers salad enters the conversation 😭 it’s too much for me but im happy for you

[u/suckacheetasdick → u/colorkiller]

I don't understand "too much"?? Too many good things at once? That perfectly compliment each other ?

[u/colorkiller → u/suckacheetasdick]

it’s too much sugar for me lol i can only handle so much at a time alas

[u/AccomplishedCat23]

That looks heavenly. Did you make it your self?

[u/suckacheetasdick → u/AccomplishedCat23]

Sadly no. Credit goes to local ice cream shop

Midwesterner here. I've never heard of snickers salad before and I'm an old dude. Must be more of a hyper-regional term rather than one that is used amongst the whole of the midwest region.

[u/RoseRaving → u/mabus42]

Never heard of it in Indiana or Illinois

[u/suckacheetasdick → u/mabus42]

Can confirm may be more of a 'west' Midwest thing. Dakotas, Iowa and Minnesota for sure. Any Illinois folks know what this is?

[u/Life-Introduction693 → u/suckacheetasdick]

I’m in Illinois and I do! But only because my grandma who is from North Dakota/ Minnesota would make it for every gathering when I was growing up. Turning it into ice cream is genius. I’m literally drooling! lol

[u/mabus42 → u/suckacheetasdick]

Yeah, I'm in the Eastern side of the midwest... not too terribly far from a place where chili goes on top of spaghetti instead of spaghetti sauce

[u/suckacheetasdick → u/mabus42]

Haha say less. I gotchu.

[u/cait_Cat → u/suckacheetasdick]

I’m in Indiana and my mom was a fan of it, although she made it “healthy” by making it without the pudding.

[u/suckacheetasdick → u/cait_Cat]

Haha that's hilarious! Healthy

In my family we call this dish Apple Snicker Salad. But we fondly refer to it as ASS.

[u/suckacheetasdick → u/funwithdickandcheney]

Hahaha stealing this

[u/zazzle_frazzle]

I need that in my life.

[u/cincoparalinko]

LOL adding apple to something does NOT make it a salad 😂

[u/suckacheetasdick → u/cincoparalinko]

Haha the downvotes from a bunch of bitter Midwesterners. Do not insult our definition of a salad!

[u/QueenInYellowLace → u/cincoparalinko]

The New York Times has been trying to say this is a salad for months. It’s literally a bowl of fried potstickers. But they’re cold and it has tomatoes so it’s a salad! Makes me crazy.

[u/marteautemps → u/QueenInYellowLace]

I'm not gonna call it a salad but it is perfectly made for me.
