Beat the Heat with a Sweet Treat!
Sarah Goschy • July 28, 2017
I don’t know about you, but the heat and humidity are making me crave crisp fall weather and the delicious apples that come with it! I had drafted a blog post focused on building margin into our daily schedules, but I think I’ll save that for another time. Sharing a favorite family summer recipe seemed more appropriate (and fun)!
I was introduced to Snickers Apple Salad at a family reunion years ago in Wisconsin. I FLIPPED for it and to this day it’s my favorite picnic potluck dish! Don’t be turned off by the “salad” in the recipe’s title – it’s more of a dessert. Trust me, you’ll be the hit of the party if you bring this along!
SNICKERS APPLE SALAD
Ingredients
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar (can be halved too, if you find it too sweet!)
- 1 (12-ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed
- 6 Snickers candy bars (I like Snickers, so I always add more)
- 4 -6 combination of granny smith and red delicious apples
- A drizzle of caramel ice cream topping for pretty presentation (optional)
Directions
- Mix cream cheese and powdered sugar until thoroughly blended. Fold in Cool Whip.
- Cut Snickers into bite size chunks and add to cream cheese mixture.
- Chop the apples into chunks and stir.
- Chill 1 hour before serving. (Don’t make this too far in advance or you will get a runny salad.)
- If you want, you can drizzle caramel ice cream topping on it right before serving!

We’re back with another creative croux feature. Normally, these pieces are put together by one of our freelance writers, Annie Van Essen, but this time, we’re spotlighting her!
Roux celebrates Mardi Gras 2024 and 10 years of good times, Louisiana roots, food, creativity and community.
Every January we like to gather as a croux and plan for the year ahead. It serves as a holiday celebration and a strategy session. We look forward to it every year. Over the last few years, we’ve also begun incorporating a “word of the year” practice, where we each choose a word that we will focus on throughout the year.
This year, we decided to take our merry-making to the streets of Nashville to see how well the average passerby could interpret some of our favorite Creole vocab. The results were… entertaining. See for yourself!
Every year, our croux puts together a roundup of our favorite Super Bowl commercials.
This time around, we thought we’d switch it up and ask for submissions of our team’s favorite commercials EVER. Whether from 2023 or 2003, we want to celebrate the advertising magic of Super Bowl Sunday.
Here at roux, we have a wonderful team of creatives supporting us, including photographers, videographers, writers, and designers.
Today, we’re excited to introduce you to Kyle Sorvick, one of the talented graphic designers we work with as part of our extended croux.
Roux shares Christmas greetings from partners and friends, celebrating creativity, connection and the holiday season.
