I wasn't sure how these would turn out, but I'm so glad I tried them. The almond flavor is subtle but delicious, and the crust is perfectly crispy. I'll definitely be making these again.

These almond squares are a bit more work than I expected, but they were definitely worth it. The crust was flaky and the filling was rich and creamy. I will definitely be making these again.

These almond squares are a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more butter to the crust next time.
