Almond Bars

My husband got the recipe for these delicious bars from a co-workers wife, he tried them and told me I had to make them. They became a family favorite for us too. The almond paste gives them such a rich almond flavor that extract just can't do. You must try these deliciously dense almond bars! -Sarah
