Here's a great way to satisfy a chocolate & nut fan, & that's just what I did ~ Well, I actually set 4 of the bars aside for us & let my other half take the rest to work! Did use toasted almonds in this recipe that went together very quickly & produced GREAT TASTING BARS! Thanks for a wonderful dessert!
