What can I say about these bars? They are hands down my favorite. And it seems many others too, for the amount of times I get asked to make them.
The first layer is a rich buttery crust, then the creamy almond cheesecake layer, and the last is the almond flavored frosting with sliced almonds on top of that. Altogether it's fabulous!
I can say that within minutes of bringing these to work or a potluck....or any gathering, the whole pan is GONE!

Almond flavor is one of my favorites! I love it in coffee too - in fact one of these bars would be awesome w/a hot cup of jo!

Katie, I didn't write the recipe but up in the instructions it says to use a 9 x 13 pan ;)
I am wondering if I can make these as individual little cakes in a muffin tin. Do you think this is of the consistency that it might work?
