Chocolate-Glazed Almond Bars
PREP: 25 min. | BAKE: 20 min. + cooling
With a moist almond filling and a flaky golden crust, these bars are sure to be the perfect dessert for a garden get-together.
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cold butter
3 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 can (12-1/2 ounces) almond filling
2 cups sliced almonds
4 squares (1 ounce each) bittersweet chocolate, melted
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pat into a 13-in.x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 18-22 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the egg whites, sugar and almond filling until blended. Stir in almonds. Pour over crust. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Drizzle with chocolate. Cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Yield: 40 bars.
