Dear Grandpa and Grandma,
You are sweeter than a [BIT-O-HONEY]. I feel like I [SKOR] when we are together. We always have fun and [SNICKERS].
I am [NUTS] about spending time with you.
Thank you for teaching me [GOOD & PLENTY] about life and the Bible. You are worth more than [100 GRAND].
Thank you for your prayers. I know they go way beyond the [MILKY WAY] to the heart of God.
I love you [MOUNDS].
[HUGS] and [KISSES], [Your Name]
2. Tape candy and nuts in place with clear adhesive tape.

For long-distance grandparents:
If your grandparents don’t live close enough to deliver the card, mail them the candy and a smaller card. Include the same message, but draw pictures where you would have taped the treats, and put the candy and nuts in a zip-top plastic bag. As you mail the package, pray that God will bless your grandparents.
