The almond bars were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

Delicious! The almond filling was smooth and flavorful, and the crust was perfectly flaky. I would highly recommend this recipe.

These almond bars were a hit! They were so easy to make and turned out perfectly. I love the combination of the sweet almond filling and the buttery shortbread crust. I will definitely be making these again.
