No funny story to go with this one, sorry folks! I was craving almonds and cherries together, and we had a Christmas party to go to, so I HAD to make something I was craving, that was easy to make. I spent the day at the mall, waiting in a 2 1/2 hour line to meet the Barefoot Contessa herself! YAY! :) So I was TIRED!
Anyway....
Cherry Almond Crunch Bars
1/2 Cup Country Creamery Unsalted Butter
1 Pkg. Baker's Corner Yellow Cake Mix
1 Can Baker's Corner Cherry Pie Filling
1/2 Cup chopped Almonds (or walnuts or pecans) * this is seasonal, you might have to buy whole and chop them up yourself!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a mixing bowl, cut butter into the cake mix. Set aside about 1 cup. Pat remaining crumbs into a 13X9 pan. Press onto the bottom and up about 1" of the sides. Spread pie filling over the bottom crust. Add almonds to the reserved cake mix/butter mixture and mix well. Crumble over the top of the pie filling.
Bake 30-35 minutes, until browned and bubbly.
Tastes great warm with whipped cream, or ice cream! Also great chilled and served "bar" style.
ENJOY!!!!
You had me at "Cherry Almond". Looks fabulous!
