Delicious, rich bars! I would suggest slightly softening almond paste in microwave, otherwise paste is difficult to cream with sugar. These bars were very popular at our recent family Christmas celebration.

These will be on my baking list today! They may even be better that my favorite Cranberry Bliss Bars.

I made these to bring to work for my boss's birthday and everyone LOVED them! I knew I would love them because I love anything with almond flavor! Sooo delicious! Like a couple of other reviewers said, the almond paste was tough to mix with the sugar when I used my mixer, so I just used my hands to blend it together and it was just fine. I will for sure be making these again!

Using my Cuisinart really made this an easy recipe. Here's how I did it. For cookie base, mixed egg first, then added butter, almond extract and cookie mix in that order. Mixed quickly. Wiped out bowl. Chopped apricots; removed. Processed almond paste, cut in 1-inch chunks,and sugar. Added remaining filling ingredients [used all 8-oz pkg cream cheese] and processed until smooth; then added the apricots just until mixed in. The vanilla chip ganache topping was made per recipe. Definitely decadent, but were good even a few days later!

I made these bars recently and they were delicious. The only thing that I didn't like was the cost of the bars. After buying the cookie mix, apricots, almond paste, cream cheese, sliced almonds and white chocolate chips, I had invested over $20+ worth of ingredients in this one recipe. So while the taste is wonderful, I will only be making these on rare occasions. I figured each bar cost over 55 cents apiece and that is a deal breaker. I agree with the lady who said the almond paste was hard to blend in. I would suggest grating it first.

This is excellent, and I made it twice, but I find almond paste very hard to work with. Both times I bought it it was hard as a rock, even after being at room temp all day. I had to cut it into tiny pieces, which took quite a while, and still it never blended in, but tasted fine.

These are soooo gooood. I have made them twice. Cut them into small squares because they are so rich, you can always come back for more. You could use any kind of dried fruit you like. I liked the tartness of the apricot with the sweetness of the white chocolate.

Am I the only one who wonders why the name of this recipe says "white chocolate", yet there is no white chocolate in the recipe?! It seems to me that instead of it calling for 'vanilla chips', it should call for 'white chocolate chips' in the top layer!
