Fleet of Angels is a national nonprofit service organization that provides emergency horse hay, critical supplies, and vet care for equines in crisis after natural disasters or other major emergencies.

Their goal is to help disaster victims keep their horses fed and comfortable, and to allow a bit more time for owners to find long term solutions to temporary crises so they don't have to give up their horses.

Apply online at www.FleetOfAngels.org. Hundreds of applications are approved each year, with thousands of horses benefitting from feed or other needs that we supply.

🎅🍭 Homemade Christmas Horse Treats: Christmas Lollipops (no bake)

Bring some holiday cheer to your horse with these no-bake, peppermint lollipop treats! They’re easy to make, packed with nutritious ingredients, and fun to decorate.

🍪 Ingredients
Makes 10-12

Main Treats
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup peppermint dust (can substitute banana or apple chips)
- ¼ cup chia seeds
-1/2 cup melted coconut oil 🥥
- 3 tbsp molasses 🍯

✨ Decorations
- Melting Chips: Red, Green, White ❤️💚🤍
- Small Pretzel Sticks 🥨
- Pull and Peel Licorice (optional)

Other Items:
- Small Mason Jar Lid


Prep - Instructions

1. Dip Pretzel Sticks
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 15-20 seconds, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip each pretzel stick about ¾ of the way in, letting excess drip off.
- Set it on parchment paper and let it harden in the fridge.

🎄 Horse Treat Instructions

1. Melt Coconut Oil
- Melt coconut oil in the microwave in 15-second intervals until liquid.

2. Combine Ingredients
- Mix oats, peppermint dust, chia seeds, melted coconut oil, and molasses in a large bowl. Use a pastry crust mixer (or hand-held mixer) to combine ingredients. Note: The mixture will be crumbly.

4. Form the Treats
- Firmly press the mixture into a mason jar lid.
- Flip over onto your cookie and push out of your mold.
- Use a pretzel end to make a small divot in the disc base of the lollipop. This is where your stick will attach.
- Place the tray in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the coconut oil set.

Decoration Treats:
Melt chips in the microwave as directed on the package instructions. Only do one color at a time, as chips might re-harden.

2. Remove treats from the fridge and cover the front side with the melted chips. Note: The front side is the one without the divot you made to attach the pretzel stick.

3. If you add any sprinkles (like peppermint dust) to your lollipops, do it immediately after you’ve covered them in the melting chips before it hardens.

4. Pipe and decorate the tops of the lollipops with melted chips. Adding some melted chips into a sandwich bag and sipping off the end make for a quick piping bag.

5. Pop decorated treats onto a cookie sheet and place in the fridge for about 5 minutes to set.

Attaching Sticks:

Remove treats from the fridge and flip them over on the cookie sheet, top down.

Pipe a dab of melted chips into the divot you made and place the pre-dipped pretzel stick in the divot. You will need to turn the treat back over while the dab is still liquefied so that it can set.

Place in the fridge for 5 minutes.

Optional Bows:

Pull off a strip of pull-n-peel licorice and tie it in a bow.
Attach to the bottom of your lollipop using a dab of melted chips.

These festive treats are now ready to share with your horse friends – or to gift to other equine pals for the holidays! 🎄🐴
