I make up a bunch of these ans give out to friends and neighbors around this time of year. I think this would also be cute to put on each persons plate/ place setting on Thanksgiving dinner.
2 cups Bugles brand corn snacks
2 cups small pretzels
1 cup candy corn
1 cup dried fruit or raisins
1 cup peanuts or sunflower seeds
1 cup M&M's chocolate candy
Herhey's kisses
In large bowl, gently mix all the ingredients except the kisses. Place 1/3 to 1/2 cup blessing mix in a small cellophane treat bags. Add one kiss to each bag. Close bags with ties.
Either hand write or copy on computer this blessing mix ( i print it out on colored paper then add little Thanksgiving stickers) . Cut out tags and attach one to each bag. makes 16 bags.
BLESSING MIX
Bugles: Shaped like a cornucopia or horn of Plenty a symbol of our nation's abundance
Pretzels : Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by those who founded our Great country
Candy corn: The sacrifices of the Pilgrim's first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day.
Nuts or seeds: Promise of a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
Dried fruits: Harvest gifts from our bountiful land.
M&M's : Memories of those who came before us to lead us into a blessed future.
Hershey's Kiss: The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
