Recipe Introduction


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.

NUTS or SEEDS: Promise of a future harvest, one will reap only if seeds are planted and tended to with deligence.

DRIED FRUIT: Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.

M&Ms: Memories of those who came before us to guide us to a blessed future.

HERSHEY KISSES: The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.

2 cups Bugles brand corn snacks
2 cups small pretzels
1 cup candy corn
1 cup dried fruit bits or raisins (I used Craisins and dried cherries)
1 cup peanuts or sunflower seeds (I used peanuts)
1 cup M&Ms brand chocolate candy
16 Hershey's brand chocolate kisses
