My sister Laurie and I have fond memories of going swimming to Greenfield Park and begging mom for some change to buy a frozen Snicker’s candy bar.  We did not have candy in the house so this was a really big treat.  Nothing like a frozen Snicker’s candy bar on a hot summer day shared with your sister. I adore Snickers and could eat a handful of them every day! Seriously!  But who can afford the calories in these dreamy morsels. One baby Snickers is 80 calories and I rather save my calories for a small glass of red wine.

This sweet salad (yes I did say salad) is sure to please the favorite people in your life who are craving a little bit of chocolate caramel sweetness but really don’t want all the calories. I promise you will need to keep the ingredients in the house as this could be become your favorite “salad.”

Ingredients

• 1 large tart apple, cored and sliced (Honeycrisp is our fav)
• Caramel sauce
• Hershey’s® syrup
• Peanuts, about 1 tablespoon

Core and slice your apple. Top with a drizzle of caramel sauce and Hershey’s® syrup. Top with the chopped peanuts.  Savor!

Happy Caramel Apple Day!
