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