Food to serve during a Jane Austen Marathon?

My friends and I are trying to plan a Jane Austen marathon. We are planning to get together to watch a selection of the movies but I'm running into a brick wall when it comes to the food to serve. I would really appreciate any suggestions for any meal!|||Do you want to serve food that would have been popular durring that period? It might be kind of fun. Scones and jam w/tea. Cucumber sandwhiches and other little finger sandwhiches. Fruit salad,soups,and cheeses would also be" period correct".If you are just looking for a tasty meal to have with friends, how about a pasta salad with some grilled chicken tenders and a fresh fruit platter. Some chocolate would be good too. Maybe some brownies and a good cup of coffee. Sounds like a good night to me! |||9 cup Chex


1 cup chocolate chips


1/2 cup peanut butter


1/4 cup butter


1/4 teaspoon vanilla


1 1/2 cup powdered sugar





Put cereal in large bowl. Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.





Pour over Chex cereal, put into a large plastic bag with powdered sugar and shake well to coat.





Spread mixture evenly on wax paper and allow to cool.
