Cornucopia Snacks Recipes

Steps:

• In large microwavable bowl, mix cereal, snacks, popcorn and corn kernel nuts.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High about 30 seconds or until melted. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated. Stir in cheese and pepper blend until evenly coated.
• Microwave uncovered on High 4 minutes, stirring every minute. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool. Store in airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly spray a cookie sheet, at least 17"x 14", with non-stick cooking spray.
• Tear off a 30"x 18" sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Fold in 1/2 to 18"x 15".
• Roll diagonally to form a hollow cone, about 18" long with a diameter of 5" at the widest end (Cornucopia opening).
• Fasten end with clear tape.
• Stuff cone with crumpled regular foil until form is rigid.
• Bend tail of cone up then down at end.
• Spray outside of cone with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place on cookie sheet.
• Open and unroll first can of breadstick dough on work surface.
• Seperate breadsticks.
• Begin by wraping one breadstick around tip of cone.
• Brush end of next breadstick with Glaze and press to attach to end of first breadstick.
• Continue spiral-wrapping cone, slightly overlapping dough until there are 3 breadsticks left.
• Pinch one end of the 3 breadsticks together, then braid.
• Brush bread around opening of Cornucopia with Glaze.
• Gently press on braid.
• Brush entire Cornucopia with Glaze.
• Bake 45 minutes in preheated oven or until bread is a rich brown.
• (If parts start to darken too much, cover them with poeces of foil.) Remove from oven and let cool completely on cookie sheet on a wire rack.
• Carefully remove foil when cool.
• (If freezing, leave foil in bread for support. Remove when thawed.) Fill Cornucopia with the assorted raw vegetables directly on table and let them spill out of opening NOTE-- To prevent this center-piece from absorbing atmospheric moisture, the baked Cornucopia cone can be sprayed with shellac or clear enamel.
• If treated in this manner, the Cornucopia will be inedible but can be preserved and re-used.

Steps:

• Slightly over-stuff each Bugle with white icing.
• Place various colors of Trix cereal on icing. (I try to use enough cereal to cover most of the icing).
• The result should look like a miniature cornucopia of fruit! :).
• Make a bunch, because they will disappear quickly!
