Family loves these delicious chocolatey bars. We felt that there was too much almond extract, so we cut in half for our second batch. It was much better.

I have also had this recipe for over 15 years....and my family can never get enough of them. The rich chocolate cream cheese center with the nuts and the crust make it heavy enough that one pan can feed several people.
