I thought this mix recipe was perfect to post for the upcoming 4th of July weekend! Not only is it a wonderful snack, but the meaning behind it is so special and patriotic. Enjoy!
Mix:
2 cups of bugles
2 cups of pretzels
1 cup of raisins
1 cup of candy corn
1 cup of peanuts
1 cup of m&m's
chocolate kisses
The meaning of the mix:
Bugles-shaped like horn of plenty, a symbol of our nations abundance.
Pretzels-arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by those who founded our country.
Candy corn-the sacrifices of the pilgrims first winter. Food was so scarce that settlers survived on just a few kernals of corn.
Peanuts-promise of a future harvest, one we will reap only if seeds are planted and tended with diligence.
Raisins-harvest gifts from our bountiful land.
M&M's-memories of those who came before us to lead us into a blessed future.
Hershey's kiss-the love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
Mix all but the kisses and put into bags and attach this note. Put the kiss on top of each bag. Use as a place setting at the table or make with your children and they can give everyone a bag when they walk into your home.
