American Blessings Snack Mix

Ingredients:
2 cups Bugles 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&M chocolate candies
Hershey's brand Chocolate Kiss

Directions:
Mix together. Place in jars with the following tag, if desired.

Alternate idea: Place about 1/8 cup of each except the Bugles and pretzels--those add about 1/4 cup each. Place in a zip-lock bag or a fancy cellophane bag tied with a ribbon. Staple the saying on to the bag--easy!

Verse:
AMERICAN BLESSINGS TAG 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 sruvived 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 of our bountiful land. M&M's: Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future. Hershey Kiss: The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
