Snickers Caramel Apple Dip
Use up those leftover fun-sized Halloween candy Bars and turn them into Snickers Caramel Apple Dip! A fun and easy fall treat or a great holiday dessert recipe!
I know it’s still September, but I’ve got candy on the brain and this Snickers Caramel Apple Dip recipe would be a great way to use up Halloween candy next month. But you can make it any time of the year – I made it for a dip party! What better time to talk about candy than the fall? I have to admit that I’m not huge on chocolate candy. I know, I have issues. I prefer things like sour patch kids, chewy sprees, and skittles. But one of the few chocolate candies that is a weakness of mine is Snickers.
Snickers are one of my absolute favorite candy bars and I knew I had to make a dip with them. I’m pretty positive that you could use any other chocolate-based candy bar in place of the Snickers that you like – Heath bars, Kit-Kats, Milky Way bars (especially if you are allergic to peanuts, these would be a great substitute). Get creative!
This was delicious, but just to warn you, it made a HUGE amount of dip. I took it to the dip party, as I said before, and as we put a good dent in it, I had half of it leftover. If it’s for a SMALL get-together (10 or so people), I’d recommend halving the recipe.
This Snickers Caramel Apple Dip would be perfect for a birthday or holiday party, baby shower, you name it! If you’re wondering what else you can serve this with besides the sliced apples like I did, pretzels, Ritz crackers or animal crackers would also be great. I tried to go the “healthy” route with the apples (ha ha). This isn’t a dip you want to eat frequently, but I’m a firm believer in “everything in moderation” and eating the bad stuff once in a while. You should definitely also try my Caramel Apple Cheese Ball. It tastes like a snickers bar with the sweet and salty combination. Enjoy!
- 12 “fun” size Snickers Bars, chopped – 10 for IN the dip and 2 for garnishing the dip (the "fun" size that is a couple of inches long, not the super small ones)
- ½ cup of unsalted butter
- 2 cups of light brown sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 (14 oz. can) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Melt butter in 2-quart saucepan; add brown sugar, corn syrup and salt.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a full boil (10 to 12 minutes).
- Stir in sweetened condensed milk and cut up Snickers Bars.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until Snickers bars are completely melted (minus the peanuts, of course) and dip thickens up.
- Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and transfer to a serving bowl.
- Serve with sliced apples, pretzels, Ritz crackers or animal crackers.
- Take the two leftover Snickers bars, chop them up, and sprinkle them over the dip before serving.
Whoa I want to dive right into that bowl. What a great idea!! Looks incredibly addicting!

I have a bag of Snickers in my pantry that is looking for something to do. I think this is just the thing! This dip looks irresistible!! 🙂
I can always diet tomorrow. Pass over the snickers caramel dip…!
I love this idea! So easy yet so creative! Cant wait to make this 🙂 xoxo
I’m not even a fan of peanut butter and want to dip my fingers into that bowl for a taste! Thanks for the info on the serving size. The full recipe would probably be just enough for my husband alone, nevermind our 4 year old! 😉
Oh man! This looks amazing. I would love this for dessert 🙂
Oh my word, I want to just dip my finger right into that bowl and give it a good lick. Yum.
Oh dear…now I want chocolate…loads and buckets loads of it…this looks incredible, Ashley!
I’m not even sure I’d make it to the apples … My spoon would just dive right in.
I could eat this with a spoon! This would be great to bring to a Halloween party!
I already am all stocked up on Halloween candy. I am a candy addict. I also love skittles and sour patch kids, and gummy worms and bears. I buy this huge 6 pound bag at Costco and slowly devour it. It takes months! This is a great idea! Perfect for all the yummy apples that are coming out now!
This looks crazy good…but, I’m stuck on a Dip Party! That’s my kind of party.
Just discovered sour patch kids…I’m obsessed, they. are. so. good!!! This looks completely delicious!
Whoa!!! what a combination. Snickers dipped in caramel. I never thought of that! Thanks for sharing.

Oh my word! I could eat this with a spoon!
Snickers will always be one of my favorite candy bars, and I love that you added them to your caramel! SO delicious. 🙂
A dip party?? Now there’s something I would love! This sounds so so good!
You just ain’t right. I LOOOOOOOOVE Snickers!! Now I have to make this dip and gain 5lbs.
hahaha Love it!
Left over Snickers????
LOL!
It sounds delicious!
This is an awesome idea, Ashley! I love caramel, snickers, and apples! I will have to try this after we go apple picking. 🙂 Pinned!
Oh wow – this would be perfect for a Halloween party – apples + Snickers! This looks delicious and decadent!
I want to swim in that bowl! This looks like my kind of meal…errr, dessert. 🙂
This would be dangerous in my hands!
Someone pass me a spoon!
