My Favorite Family Recipe

My father owned a bakery in the Netherlands. Almond is always a winning ingredient with the Dutch, and his almond bars were no exception as one of his customers' (and his family’s) favorites.

After he immigrated to America in 1949, we had a part-time bakery in our home. Soon the almond bar recipe became a hit in the U.S., as well. His almond bar legacy continues as we make and enjoy their buttery, warm goodness for special events and family gatherings to this day.
