Heath bars were included in U.S. soldiers' rations during World War II because they had been found to have a very long shelf life. The Heath bar was originally marketed as a health food, claiming to use only the finest ingredients. One early ad read: "Heath for better health!" Another candy often included in soldiers' rations was M&M's because they didn't melt easily.

Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 bag Heathbar Bits (or Skor)
Apple wedges (granny smith, or roma)

Directions:
Cream together cream cheese, sugars, and vanilla.

Stir heathbar bits (or Skor) in with spoon.

Serve with granny smith or roma apple wedges

Note: Cut apples into pineapple juice to keep from turning brown

Variation: Make this into Toffee-Apple Dip but using one, 8-ounce package of toffee bits in place of the heath bits.
