17 thanksgiving food: blessings trail mix
Today’s recipe is one good for any part of your Thanksgiving celebration no matter if its served before, during of after the big meal it will be a big hit. Thanksgiving Blessings Trail Mix is a simple way to help remember what this holiday is really about. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to serve as a symbol of Thanksgiving.
Mix the ingredients in whatever proportions you think your guests would most enjoy.
Ingredients:
- Bugles (the cornucopia shaped corn chip)
- Nuts and/or seeds (we used almonds and sunflower seeds)
- Small Pretzels
- Candy Corn (if you have any leftover from Halloween this is a great way to use it up)
- Dried Fruit (we used dried cherries)
- M&Ms (every trail mix needs a little chocolate!)
We’re sharing our Thanksgiving Blessings Trail Mix Sign. You can put it next to your bowl of trail mix so all of your guests know why all of the ingredients were chosen. Ours measured 5×7 inches.

[...] How long does it take to buy a bag of candy corn? Well, if you count the time I spent last night and this morning in search of it, 2.5 hours! I had volunteered to bring a Thanksgiving trail mix snack to my daughter’s preschool party. Found the idea online at http://11cupcakes.com/2011/11/17/thanksgiving-food-blessings-trail-mix [...]
