Thanksgiving Blessing Mix Recipe

Ingredients:

2 cups Bugles brand corn snacks

2 cups small pretzels
1 cup candy corn
1 cup dried fruit bits or raisins
1 cup peanuts or sunflower seeds
1 cup M&Ms-brand chocolate candy
16 Hershey's-brand chocolate kisses

Once I have mixed this all together I then place the mix in small cellophane bags and place inside the favor box and staple before I decorate the facing of the favor.

I then attach the poem on the back side of the favor.

Thanksgiving 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 country.
• Candy corn: Sacrifices of the Pilgrims' first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn a day.
• Nuts or seeds: Promise of a a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
• Dried fruits: Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.
• M&Ms: Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future.
• Hershey's Kiss: The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.

I will have detailed instruction this week so be sure to check back.
