Candy Salad is a sweet and salty mix of Whoppers, Reese’s, and chocolate-covered pretzels—a perfect treat for candy lovers or your next gathering!
Candy Salad
Before you jump to conclusions and think I’ve gone off the deep end, let me explain! Candy Salad is in the same league as those quirky combos like Ambrosia Salad, Snickers Salad, or the ever-popular Orange Fluff Salad.
All right, it’s not technically a “salad” in the veggie and greens sense—it’s more of a dessert.
But hey, if it’s whipped up in a salad bowl, why not embrace the name, right? And if you’re doubting its legitimacy, just ask the Candy Salad fans on TikTok, where it took the platform by storm earlier this year!
How To Enjoy This “Salad”
- Handfuls: Grab a handful and enjoy the mix of candies.
- Cupfuls: Serve in small cups or bowls for portion control, perfect for gatherings.
- As a topping: Add it to ice cream, yogurt, or cakes for a candy crunch.
- With friends: Share with friends or family during a movie night for a fun treat!
How To Make Candy Salad (Tips)
- Mix the flavors: Go for a mix of sweet, salty, creamy, and crunchy.
- Use fresh candies: Fresh candies give the best texture and flavor.
- Customize it: Change ingredients to fit personal preferences or dietary needs.
Variations
Switch Your Candy Salad Up!
- Nuts: Add roasted or candied almonds, peanuts, or cashews for a nutty crunch.
- Caramel: Throw in some caramel bits, add Rolos, or chopped up Milky Ways.
- White chocolate: Swap out some of the milk chocolates for white chocolate pieces.
Storage
Store Candy Salad in an airtight container. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to stop it from melting.
Avoid the fridge, since chocolate can get “sweat” or turn white.
