Here’s another almond-y dessert I like – Italian Almond Fingers! Recipes like this one are great because they are fairly easy to make, and if you mess up it doesn’t really matter. It still tastes great!

Notes on Almond Fingers Recipes

For some variation, try rolling the almond fingers in powdered sugar again after they are completely cooled. You can also and things like chocolate chips, dried fruit, and other confections. It’s hard to go wrong!
