Followed the recipe exactly. The bars fell in the middle at the end of the cooking time. They were too sweet and when cut all of the slivered almonds fell off. I would not make these again.
Just made these and halved recipe. Used almond flour and coconut oil as replacements for flour and butter. I omitted almond topping.. Used 8 x 8 pan baked for 35 minutes. Made 15 bars. They came out perfect! Can't wait to make them again. Thank u for this amazing recipe.
This recipe is simple and delicious. I used a 7 oz can of almond paste and baked 30 mins. Turned out perfectly chewy. Will definitely make again!
I was so excited to try this recipe. Everything went great until I tried to cut them for the cookie exchange I was going to. They were rock solid! I broke a butter knife (a metal butter knife!) trying to cut them and finally had to just throw the entire pan away with the bars still in them. I had to run to the store to buy cookies to take to the exchange.
I make these for a lot of get togethers, they are now one of my favorites! Pretty easy too!
OK, so I made this recipe and it is delicious. Now to answer the big question, "where do you purchase almond paste". Well, I solved that by going online to Taste of Home and got recipe for Amond Paste and made my own. Simple, easy, delicious. And WAY cheaper, even IF I could find it in the store.
I haven't tried these yet, but they look amazing, I love almond paste. Only problem is, I too do not know where to buy it, have looked everywhere.
