Hmm, this tastes good, but - the cookie dough barely covers the bottom of a 9x13 pan, which the recipe calls for - so you get a very thin cookie layer - I followed the recipe exactly and my "fudge" topping did not set 100% and is still a bit gooey - so I won't be able to cut into squares to transport it :(

Rich buttery shortbread, made better with chocolate! Very simple, quick recipe, too!

Superb taste and texture. Very, very rich- I cut these into tiny squares. I used fat-free sweetened condensed milk and it was wonderful. I'm making these for a crowd, so I omitted the nuts and used white chocolate chips to decorate the top. Love the almond flavoring. Very quick to put together, too. 5 stars!

I have made this many times and it always turns out perfect and taste great! I have tried it with margarine instead of butter - it worked but I would use butter. Its a great square for bake sales and bake exchanges; it is so easy and fast to make. Like others - I sometimes omit the almond extract to get a different taste. Good both ways.

I made it exactly as is. It tasted alright, but the top separates from the shortbread bottom. Although it tasted alright, I won't make this again because it just wouldn't stay together.

I have been making this same recipe for years and it's my favorite. I get request at work all the time to make these. I don't use the almond flavoring or almonds on top anymore-people preferred it without. These are easy and delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!
