CRISPIX SNACK MIX

Ingredien
1 lg. box Crispix cereal
1 c. powdered sugar
1 stick margarine
2/3 c. peanut butter
9 oz. milk chocolate
9 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
Method
Put chocolate chips, milk chocolate, peanut butter and margarine in a bowl. Melt in microwave for 2-3 minutes (stir after 1 minute). Just melt for long enough to soften ingredients so they can be easily stirred and mixed together. Pour 1/2 Crispix into a large bowl, then pour 1/2 of above mixture over the Crispix and stir together. Repeat with the other 1/2 of Crispix and mixture. Pour powdered sugar over the top and mix all together (the powdered sugar makes it easier to break into small bite-size pieces.)

CAVIAR EGGPLANT

Ingredient
1 lg. eggplant
1 c. finely chopped onion
1 c. finely chopped bell pepper
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tomato, finely chopped
Salt & pepper to taste
Method
To cook eggplant: Roast on BBQ grill until the skin of the eggplant is brittle, turning occasionally to insure that it cooks thoroughly. Once cooked, let it cool, then peel. Scrape all insides into a bowl and set aside. Discard the skin. (If you do not have access to a BBQ grill, you can boil the eggplant for 25 minutes.) In a large skillet, brown the onion and green pepper in the olive oil. Add eggplant and tomato and stir often. Cook until the mixture is well done. Add more oil if it begins to stick. Salt and pepper to taste. Once the mixture is cooked, put it in a serving dish and chill. Serve as a spread for pumpernickel bread, French bread or crackers.
