I've made this exact recipe for over thirty years. It's very good. I am not much of an almond X lover but when I make this it vanishes in a couple of days. As with any recipe, if you don't like an ingredient go ahead and make a substitution. I have made it with almond and homemade vanilla extract and even mixed them. Same vanishing act occurs! DH brings it to work and he is the hero of the day. Thanks for posting KittyKitty! SA;) -
1 tsp is way too much of almond extract. Because I used 1 tsp the entire batch is ruined. If you use only use 1/4 tsp and 1 tsp of vanilla.
