Here's another fun "recipe"
By Cindy N

Rebecca,
What a great idea! I just love it!
I ran across this recipe for another treat that I'd like to share.

BLESSING MIX
Each ingredient in this snack symbolizes something associated with Thanksgiving.

2
C. Bugles brand corn snacks (shaped like a cornucopia or horn of plenty)
2 C. pretzels (represents arms folded in thanks and prayer)
1 C. candy corn (during the first winter, the pilgrims were allotted only 5 kernels of corn per day because food was so scarce)
1 C. dried fruit (Thanksgiving is a celebration of the harvest. Craisins would be a great addition!)
1 C.

peanuts or sunflower seeds (seeds represent the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if the seeds are planted and well tended)

Mix the ingredients together in a large bowl. Discuss with the children each ingredient and how it relates to Thanksgiving. Then, enjoy!
