DIY Christmas horse treats!!

 Hey everybody so a little while back I was going through tumblr and found this recipe for DIY horse treats! They're really easy to make and I have made them before and my horses LOVED them so much. I'll definitely be making them again. Let's just go ahead and jump straight into how to make them!

You will need:
~Mixing bowl
~Measuring cups
~flour
~vegetable oil
~molasses
~old fashioned oats or just plain oats
~parchment paper or baking spray (I recommend parchment paper because the spray could be bad for your horse)
~PEPPERMINTS!!

Procedures:
~First off preheat your oven to 350 degrees (176 degrees Celsius if that's what you use)
~Put 1 cup of flour into your mixing bowl.
~ Add 1 cup of oats into the bowl with the flour.
~ 1 cup of molasses. Start with a half a cup and if the mixture is too dry when all the other ingredients are in add another half a cup.
~2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
~If you want you can crush peppermints and add them but I didn't. We'll get to what I did with them later.
~Now mix!!
~Next line a pan with parchment paper or spray it with baking spray. All personal preference.
~ Now here's where it gets MESSY! Dump your mixture into the pan. You could use a brownie pan and even it out but whatever you want. It does NOT have to take up the whole pan but make sure to even it out some. It will look like a mess but trust me it wont be at the end.
~ Wash your hands of course and then stick the mess into the oven, 350 degrees, for about 15 minutes. Keep an eye on until you think they're done.
~Once they're done, making sure not to do it RIGHT away, peel pieces off the pan and roll into balls. Make them big enough for a peppermint to fit on. if you do it like brownies just cut it like you would a brownie and sit them to the side.
~Press a peppermint into the top and Vuiola!

You are complete!! Horses love these and the peppermint makes it look even more Christmasey! These also would be a good gift idea to leave by your friends or everyone's stalls with a card and a few other cute things. Anyways I hope you try these!!
