1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. white sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. caramel extract
1 c. finely chopped nuts

Beat all ingredients except nuts until smooth. Add nuts. Blend together until mixed well. Any fruit can be used for dipping. Granny Smith apples are the best.

RE: Dental Floss for Making Repairs
I had a hole above my back pocket in my favorite pair of jeans. I had a needle but no thread. I grabbed dental floss and sewed up the hole with vertical lines. It turned out great! I have even washed them a number of times, and I haven't had a problem with them since. ... View related article.

RE: Crunchy Horse Treats Recipe
Here is some recipes that I have found. Hope this helps.

Apple and Oat Treats

Treat your horse or pony to these simple squares made of wholesome ingredients. Keep them fresh in the fridge. Remember not to feed too many of any treat too often.
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1 cup oat bran cereal or ground oatmeal
1/2 cup all purpose flour (approx.)
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350F
Oil a 9inch x 9inch square cake pan
Spread the batter evenly in the cake pan and bake for 20-30 minutes. The batter will start to shrink away from the sides and it will be firm to the touch.
Slice into squares while still warm. Keep chewies in the refrigerator in an air-tight container or bag.

Carrot and Apple Treats

Your horse will love the sweet crunchiness of these cookies. They keep well in an air-tight container. Never feed too many treats too often.
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup bran
1 cup molasses
1 cup grated carrot or apple
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 375F
Oil two cookie sheets
Put aside a small bowl of white sugar and a drinking glass with a flat bottom.
In a large bowl mix all the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture shouldnt be too wet, and should stick together.
Add more flour to make the mixture firmer and hold together if necessary. Drop by teaspoonfuls, about 1 &frac; inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Grease the bottom of the glass, dip it in the sugar, and stamp the cookies to flatten them slightly. Bake for about 10 minutes. This makes about 25 cookies, depending on the size. Store in an air-tight container or bag. ... View related article.

RE: Apple Cake from IKEA Restaurant
Swedish Apple-Lingonberry Cake
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons milk
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened
2 large baking apples, peeled and cored, and cut in half horizontally
1/2 cup lingonberry jam *(see notes below)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Extra butter and flour, for greasing and flouring pan

Garnish (optional)
Whipped Cream
Instructions:
1). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 C). Butter an 8 or 9-inch (20cm or 23cm) springform pan and lightly dust with flour.
2). In a bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and the almond and vanilla extracts. Mix well.
3). In a second bowl, combine the dry ingredients and add the softened butter and half of the milk-egg mixture to the dry ingredients.
4). Using an electric mixer at low speed, blend until the dry ingredients are moistened, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using a spatula, scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining milk-egg mixture. Mix at medium speed for 2 minutes.
5). Pour the batter into the pan. Carefully place the apple halves, flat side down, in the pan. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the lingonberry jam into each of the apple holes (which were the apple cores).
6). Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes, or until it's golden brown and a wooden skewer, toothpick, or cake tester inserted into middle of cake comes out clean.
7). Remove cake from oven and place on rack to cool in pan for 20 minutes. Run a knife or a rubber spatula around edge of cake in pan, and then release sides of springform pan. Let cake cool on rack completely. When cake has cooled completely, lightly dust top with confectioners’ sugar before serving. Slice in wedges and serve with whipped cream, if desired
Makes 6-8 servings.
