Just found this one on the net for a super easy appetizer for the kids:

HORN OF PLENTY

The horn of plenty, or the "cornucopia," is a familiar Thanksgiving symbol. It is a symbol of earth's bounty, and reminds us how much of our food comes from the earth. It is said that the Indians would hollow out the large gords to carry their vegtables and fruits.

We like to place a cornucopia on the coffee table and fill with lots of fruit and nuts. For appetizers especially 4 Kids use ice cream sugar cones as cornucopia's and fill with a Chex Cereal Nut Mix. Another idea is to make carmel corn and mold into cornucopia's while still warm. Mold by using the outside of a cone shape cup. When cool fill with nuts and other mixes.

Oh, you reminded me of another snack recipe of the same type. It uses symbolic snack items for Thanksgiving and suggests "Bugles" be included because they are tiny cornucopias.

I remember buying them because of that recipe and they're really good!

It's called "Harvest Blessing Mix" and there is a little card you can print out to attach to a baggie of it.
