This Dubai chocolate bar Watergate salad is typical of Midwestern “dessert” salads—sweet and fluffy, with no lettuce to be found. As a kid growing up in Kansas, the pistachio-pudding based Watergate salad was a staple with Easter ham, at baby showers and potlucks. This recipe melds Watergate salad with trending Dubai Chocolate bar flavors to create a new candy bar salad for potlucks and holidays. There’s an easy candy bar crunch made from a surprising cereal ingredient and mini chocolate chips.

Ingredients

  • 24 frosted mini wheats, or as needed, divided

  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant pistachio pudding mix

  • 2 cups chocolate milk

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips

  • 2 cups whipped topping

  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, chopped

Method

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Add frosted mini wheats to a plastic bag and crush with your hands or a rolling pin. You should have about 2 cups. Set aside. 

  3. Whisk pistachio pudding and chocolate milk together in a large bowl for 2 minutes. Add mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. Gently fold in whipped topping. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups crushed frosted mini wheats into the mixture and continue to fold gently until combined.

  4. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup crushed frosted mini wheats and chopped pistachios over the top. Refrigerate until set and fully chilled, 1 to 2 hours.
