WEEKEND SPECIALS = Any mother who has children in school knows that after school time is snack time. Margaret Manzoni has three tasty, easy to prepare snacks that your youngsters are sure to enjoy, Double Decker Knox Blox, Knox Pudding Blox and Cinder- ella Crisps. Knox Blox are a popular finger food, easy to handle even for toddlers. Double Decker Knox Blox are made by combining the desired flavor of gelatin with Knox gelatin and heavy cream. Either vanilla or butterscotch instant pudding may be used in Knox Pudding Blox. Cinderella Crisps are a sweet treat. Remove the crust from bread slices cutting each slice into four strips. Dip each strip into Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed Milk then into. coconut. After baking, Cinderella Crisps must be removed from the pan immediately to prevent sticking. Margaret who loves to bake, suggests two of her favorite recipes, Apple Cake. For apple dum- plings roll out the dough, brush it with melted butter then sprinkle it cinnamon. Top with apples sliced and peeled as for a pie. Roll dough up jelly roll style then slice and bake. Margaret has included the recipe for white sauce that she serves over apple dum- plings. Whiskey Cake is very rich including ingredients like sour cream, instant pistachio pudding, nuts, chocolate chips and chopped cherries. Al- though the recipe calls for both chocolate chips and cherries either one may be omitted. After removing Whiskey Cake from the oven allow it to cool for at least 25 minutes before removing it from the pan. When it has cooled, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar or drizzle on a glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
