Kirsten Paris from SHERWOOD, OR

This recipe is so surprisingly simple to make (just looks like you spent hours in the kitchen making them), and the end result received so many compliments that it has now become a family and friends special treat.
Great Sale Item

Lou Simorelli from MIAMI, FL

I recently made this item as a try me treat. It went over very well and has become a good sale item. For those who like the extra liquor taste, add additional liquor as others have suggested. It adds a more delicate flavor.

These bars were extremely fragrant. My guests enjoyed them but my husband commented that they were a slight bit on the dry side.
One of the Best!!

ROSE BLACKFORD from Robins, IA

I've made these the past couple of years and my family LOVES them! This year I substituted the chocolate vanilla swirled chips instead of the chocolate chips and they are great that way also. One of the best recipes for Holiday baking.
Chocolate Amaretto Bars

Ruth Minsk-Whitehead from OCALA, FL

I love Amaretto and I love this recipe. Added a little more Amaretto than it called for though. This recipe is so easy. Sometimes I make it with Raspberry liquor or Orange liquor, both area hit.

BECKY DURAN from EL PASO, TX

They were wonderful. Very easy to prepare and they were a big hit with my family.
SO good with a cup of coffee

Ms. Blaschuk from FARMINGDALE, NY

These were great. Next time, I will probably add more amaretto, just because I really like the taste. The chocolate and amaretto go so well together. I brought these to school and everyone flipped. I saved a few at home for my husband and I. They are PERFECT with a cup of coffee, after dinner, for just the right treat to finish off the meal.
Chocolate Amaretto Bars Ummm!

YVONNE FUHRMANN from STERLING HEIGHTS, MI

These bars were easy to make and even easier to eat! They reminded me alot of the magic cookie bars. They were easy to overbake though, so you have to watch that. Will I make them again? ABSOLUTELY!!!
decadent and special

Carine Nadel from LAGUNA HILLS, CA

these were great to bring to my new job as an ice breaker. Instant acceptance!
Chocolate Amaretto Bars

Linda Bull from RACINE, WI

These bars are excellent. The next time I make them I will put more Amaretto and/or almond flavoring. I took half the batch into work and they were gone within 1 hour! I also melted semi-sweet chocolate chips and drizzled this over the top.
Fabulous!!

JENNIFER CHILDERS from Westerville, OH

I love the flavor of amaretto and chocolate together, but always seem to have difficulty finding a decent recipe. This fit the bill perfectly. They were easy to make and tasted fabulous. My husband and I are addicted to them!!
I loved these!

AMY MISENCIK from SIMPSONVILLE, SC

I really liked these bars, although I really like almonds and amaretto. My kids didn't like them that well, but all the adults did. I'm definitely going to make these again!
My two favorites-chocolate and amaretto

carol lopez from hemet, CA

These were wonderful-I added more amaretto-almond favoring didn't do it justice. And it wasn't too much for the kids-it bakes out

Chocolate and Amaretto, what could be better

Melissa Reeves from Mountain Home, ID

What a great recipe! Nothing could be better than chocolate and amaretto. Two thumbs way up on this one!
Good for adults

Anne Ragland from DES PERES, MO

Easy to make, also easy to overcook. The adults liked them, the kids didn't. I think they weren't sweet enough for the kids. I may or may not make them again.

Great for Bake Sales

These bars were simply delicious my family just loved them. The next time I make them I will use the Amaretto liquer & almond extract & less almonds. The recipe is truly delightful for almond lovers.
Great bars

What a nice addition to the holiday cookie platter. I used blanced sliced almonds in top layer. I use Almond extract so those who cannot drink alcohol can enjoy them too!
