This Thanksgiving snack mix is a delightful combination of some favorite fall treats. The two printables that I have included also tell your guests what is in the harvest blessing mix and the blessing that each ingredient stands for.
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for all of our blessings. For most of us, the holiday also means surrounding ourselves with one or more of the symbols of Thanksgiving.
This thankful snack mix is designed specifically for the holiday. Each of the treats symbolize different reasons why Thanksgiving is the great holiday that it is. It’s another one of my fun Thanksgiving appetizers to serve at a Thanksgiving party.
For another fun Thanksgiving party idea, check out these candy corn turkey cupcakes. They are also a delight and fun to make.
I’ve also used the idea of Thanksgiving symbols in my pilgrim hat cookies and teepee dirt cups dessert. Be sure to check them out.

This Thanksgiving party mix is so easy to put together. There is no baking or cooking at all. Everything is Fcombined in a large bowl, mixed and then served.
What could be easier than that? Gather these items together:
- Bugels
- Candy corn
- Small twist pretzels
- Candy pumpkins
- Dried fruit
- Cashews, Almonds and pumpkin seeds
- a bag of Hershey kisses. I used the kisses with almonds, since I used almonds in my mix.
The wonderful thing about this harvest blessing mix is that each ingredient stands for something related to Thanksgiving.
Some are symbolic – like the twist pretzel to represent arms folded in prayer, or the Hershey Kisses symbolizing the love of family and friends.
Others are more factual, like the dried fruit, nuts and seeds that represent the harvest of past and future years.
My favorites ingredients are the little bugles that are shaped like a Thanksgiving Cornucopia – one of the symbols of many Thanksgiving table centerpieces!
One of the nice things about this cornucopia snack mix is that it is so easy to make. You can let the kids help, or they can do it all themselves.
Even the littlest youngsters can take part!
