Snickers salad is easy to make; the ingredients are simply chopped and combined.[4]As to whether it is a salad or a dessert, popular lore has it that it depends on which end of the table it is sitting at.[3]
It has a rather unique texture, being sticky and crunchy. Clumps are known to get stuck in the teeth. This feature[dubious–discuss]makes the experience of eating it divisive.[2]
The recipe for Snickers salad was included in a 2009 article "Salads worthy of a church picnic" inThe Indianapolis Star.The author said that "Despite what all my community and church cookbooks would say, I don't think anything with marshmallows can really be called a salad."[5]
