I think I found the link to these on Chowhound. But it prints really tiny and we keep making these and struggling to read the ingredients so I’m repeating it here. In large print! And so my daughters will quit asking me for the link. 😉 The name is as much description as you need: Chewy Almond Squares.
We’ve found we need to bake them toward the longer end of the range. I’ve read that you can make chewy coconut squares by substituting coconut oil, coconut extract and flaked coconut, which sounds really yummy but I haven’t tried it yet. These have become a family favorite. They go together quickly so you can whip them up and have them cooking while you’re fixing and eating dinner, as we did last night.
