American Blessings Snack Mix
|
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!
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.
