Each ingredient in this snack mix symbolizes something associated with the Harvest Season (Thanksgiving)

• 
  
• Bugles Brand Corn Snacks - represents a cornucopia, a horn of plenty.

• Pretzels - represents arms folded in thanks and prayer.

• 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.

• Dried or Candy Fruits - Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest.

• Peanuts and/or Sunflower Seeds - seeds represent the potential of a bounteous harvest for the next season if they are planted and well tended.

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

• Hershey's Kiss: The love of family and friends that sweetens our lives.
