Belinda found this fun recipe idea and shared it at a school party. This recipe came from familycrafts.about.com
Recipe: Christmas Blessing Snack Mix
Ingredients
Bugles brand corn snack
Small pretzel twists
Red hots
Peanuts
M&Ms brand chocolate candy (red and green)
Hershey’s brand chocolate kisses
Instructions
Use even amounts of all the ingredients listed above or mix and match as you like. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together. You can make this mix as a family and eat while discussing each ingredient and how it relates to Christmas.
If this is for a gift, make a special card with these descriptions (or print out the bag tag )
Each ingredient in this snack mix symbolizes something associated with the Christmas Season
Bugles Corn Snacks – Shaped like a trumpet to remind us of the angels we have heard on high.
Pretzels – Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by those who founded our country.
Red Hots – To symbolize the holly berries decorating our mantel tops.
Peanuts – Plant the seeds for peace on Earth.
M&Ms – Memories of those who came before us to lead us into a blessed future.
Hershey’s Kisses – The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
This is a wonderful recipe idea. I especially love the way each ingredient symbolizes something special. It will be nice to make up bags and pass them on to friends. Thanks for sharing.
And it’s easy, Kathy! Let me know how it turns out!
