The ingredients all add up to describe America's mixed blessings. I do these at Halloween and include a tie around the baggies with the meanings of each ingredient. FUN!

  4. Close bag with twist tie and if you want to use as a give-away, tie the following with a twist tie when you close the bag:
  5. Bugles: Shaped like a cornucopia or Horn of Plenty is a symbol lf our Nation's abundance.
  6. Pretzels: Arms folded in prayer, a freedom sought by the founders of our country.
  7. 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.
  8. Nuts or Seeds: Promise of a future harvest, one will reap only if seeds are planted and tended to.
  9. Dried Fruits: Harvest gifts of our bountiful land.
  10. M&Ms: Memories of those who came before us to guide us to our wonderful future.
  11. Hershey's kisses: The love of family and friends that sweeten our lives everyday.
