Almond Bars

Ingredients

• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1/2 cup butter, softened
• •1/4 cup granulated sugar
• •1/4 teaspoon salt
• •1 cup sliced almonds
• •1/2 cup butter
• •1/2 cup brown sugar
• •2 tablespoons honey
• •1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• •1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. 1Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. 2Mix flour, softened butter, granulated sugar, and salt until crumbly, then press firmly into the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden.
3. 3In a saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and honey over medium heat, stirring until melted. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract and salt.
4. 4Fold sliced almonds into the butter mixture, then spread evenly over the baked base.
5. 5Bake for 15-18 minutes until the topping is golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
6. 6Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then cut into 16 squares and cool completely on a wire rack.

💡 Cool almond bars fully before cutting because the nut filling stays fragile while warm and tends to pull away from the short base.
