I am a little obsessed with munch mixes lately … you know, where you just toss all sorts of yummy things in a bowl and give it a fun name? So with Thanksgiving right around the corner, I figured I needed to put together a simple munch mix to tide everyone over until dinner was finished. {taste this} Mayflower munch mix!!
This mix is a great salty and sweet combination with a little history lesson thrown in 😉 Mix together as much or as little as you like of the following:
While you are munching, you can talk about what each ingredient represents:
Candy Corn – to represent maize/corn
Craisins – to represent the North East where cranberries are grown
Pretzel sticks – to represent the forest and the logs used to build homes for the Pilgrims
M&Ms – M is for the Mayflower
Corn Chex – to represent maize/corn
This Thanksgiving snack mix is perfect to put in a big bowl for grazing or package it up and put it in my cute little turkey treat cups!
Your Thanksgiving guests will appreciate the snack and you can rest at ease until dinner is ready! Here are a few more munch mixes to satisfy your snack cravings!
This post was shared at all the blogs on my Link Party Love page! Go take a peek … they rock!
Love this! I am a munch mix addict 🙂

Perfect combination of salty and sweet! Yum.
YUM this sounds like a great mix! Saw you link up on a bunch of link parties. Would love it if you linked up on my blog hop and added it to your list www.w-t-fab.com/search/label/bloghop. Also let me know if you’d like to follow each other!
What a great Thanksgiving snack! I love your photos, too, gorgeous! We make a similar mix, but add in the little candy pumpkins, pretzels (folded arms in prayer for gratitude) and bugles – which look like tiny cornucopias!
I love mixes and the craisins top it off. Thank you for the recipe.
We may have met by chance…but we become friends by choice.

What can I substitute for Christmas? Do they make red/ green candy corn?
They do – I found them at Walgreens or Walmart last year. You may like this O Christmas Tree Munch Mix 🙂 https://www.shakentogetherlife.com/2013/12/o-christmas-tree-munch-mix.html
