For crust and topping
1 1/4 sticks (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 oz cream cheese, softened

3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips (4 1/2 oz)

Steps:

  • Make crust and topping:

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 1h40m

Yield 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 cup creamy roasted almond butter
3/4 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
1/2 cup toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Lightly butter an 8-inch square baking dish and line with parchment paper. Set aside.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients mix together more smoothly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, which will make the bars lighter and more tender.
  • Gradually add the eggs, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the mixture from curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  • For a nutty flavor, add chopped almonds or walnuts to the batter.
  • For a festive look, decorate the bars with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Glazed Almond Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
