The Saltine Almond Peanut Butter Hors-d'Ouvres... Out Does with a Lot of Verve..."

The major feature here is to make the marzipan-like spread on saltines or flaked crackers (try a box of Christie's here in Canada) as ff:

Ingredients for Marzipan:

• 1/2 c Almond Flakes Food Processed to a Butter

• 1/2 c Peanut Butter (store bought)

• 3 tblsp Lemon Juice

• 1/3 c Honey (pasteurized or spun)

• 2 egg whites beaten to a stable meringue

• 3 c Confectioner's Sugar

• 1/2 tsp Vanilla

Instructions:

• Beat the eggs whites to a stiff meringue and proceed to add both the wet and dry ingredients, preferably in a dough mixer [try a KitchenAid(R) heavy duty mixer with fittings] and proceed to produce by mixing a ball of marzipan-like spread from a soft dough consistency.

• For a more informal setting or for a snack time munchie try Coco Honey (Philippine-made) or the Marmalade from Blood Oranges (imported ones from Great Britain), and also Lemon, Orange and Pineapple.
