  • To make the pie bars extra gooey, add a layer of caramel or chocolate chips between the almond filling and the crust.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the almonds by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a pre-made pie crust. Just be sure to blind bake it before filling it.
  • To make sure the pie bars are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pie. If it comes out clean, the pie bars are done.
