Made these according to the recipe, but with one slight change ~ Instead of the amaretto liqueur, I used almost 3/4 teaspoon of almond extract, while apple juice made up the rest of the 3-tablespoon amount! Worked like a charm, & these nutty bars were a delight! A keeper of a recipe, definitely! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
