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? Â 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. Â {taste this}Â 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! Â
Your Thanksgiving guests will appreciate the snack and you can rest at ease until dinner is ready! Â 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!

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!
Sue Boyer says
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.
