AMERICAN BLESSINGS MIX (Gift in a jar)

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
AMERICAN BLESSINGS MIX

2 C. Bugles brand corn snacks
2 C. small pretzels
1 C. candy corn
1 C. dried fruit bits or raisins
1 C. peanuts or sunflower seeds
1 C. M&Ms chocolate candy
16 Hershey's chocolate kisses

In a large bowl, gently mix all ingredients except Hershey's Kisses. Place 1/3 to 1/2 cup Blessing Mix in small cellophane treat bags. Add one Hershey's Kiss to each bag. Close bag with chenille stem or twist-tie.

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 the founders of our country.

Candy Corn: Sacrifices of the Pilgrim's first winter. Food was so scarce that the settlers survived on just a few kernels of corn per day.

Nut or Seeds: Promise of a future harvest, one will reap only if seeds are planted and tended to 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.

This would be neat to set at the table where people are going to set.

Great that will be so neat. Hey are you going to put a little gif tag with it and say what each of the foods means? I think I am going to do that.

Yes, that's what I want to do. I have to get my printer working first!! Or maybe get my sister to print them, but I want to attach a little tag to each one, explaining the foods and their meaning! NEATO
