Thanks weepiper.

One of the most wonderful Christmas foods I've ever eaten was something I was introduced to by a family of people who were second and third generation Dutch/Americans.

It was made with almond paste and some other things (like maybe flour and eggs), and baked into bars that somewhat resembled fudge brownies in texture (but not in taste). They had a delicious subtle almond flavor, were slightly chewy, and just about melted in the mouth.

I've always been very sorry I never got the recipe. If there are any people here of Dutch ancestry who know how to make these almond bars, could you please steer me in the direction of a good recipe?
