I had some trouble finding almond paste, but I finally found it at a specialty grocery store. The bars were worth the effort, though. They're so good!

These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of almond desserts, but these bars were surprisingly good. The crust is flaky and the filling is sweet and creamy.
