Crunchy almonds provide a crunchy contrast to rich, fudgy chocolate bars.

Expert Tips

Much like the center of a pecan pie, the center of these bars is very moist and may even look raw. Not to worry—that's how they should look.

Dark corn syrup has color added and a caramel flavor, which gives it a darker color and a stronger flavor than light corn syrup.

They had very yummy rich flavor, but I found that about 1/3 (the middle section) was all but wasted, since I couldn't get the pcs out cuz they were so gooey. Worked out perfectly with a scoop of ice cream on the gooey pcs though! lol

I love chocolate with nuts and this recipe is not to be over looked. EVERYONE who tried this loved it and wanted more. I made no changes. Definitely worth baking.
