Chocolate Almond Bars

• 1/2 cups Butter, Softened
• 1/4 cups White Sugar
• 1/4 cups Brown Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoons Almond Extract
• 1 whole Egg
• 2/3 cups All-purpose Flour
• 1/2 cups Quick Cooking Oats

• 1 Tablespoon Butter
• 1/2 cups Sliced Or Finely Chopped Almonds

1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. Thoroughly cream together the butter, sugars, almond extract and egg. Stir in flour and oats. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 8-inch (2 L) square cake pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until slightly golden.
3. Meanwhile, melt chocolate chips with butter in the microwave for 30 second increments until smooth, stirring after each 30 seconds. Spread over base. Sprinkle evenly with almonds. Cool until chocolate sets before cutting into bars.
4. *This recipe doubles well for a 9x13" pan and also freezes well in an airtight container. Serve at room temperature.
