For me these were good but not outstanding. They have components of some of my favorite things - shortbread, almonds and chocolate -so I was prepared to love them. I just didn't care that much for the flavor of the chocolate part, but others I shared them with really liked them. The first ones were difficult to remove from the pan and the edges were a bit cruchy so I trimmed them before taking them to work to share.
