Vanilla-Cashew Bars

"A cashew lovers dream. I made a half recipe and baked that in a standard bread loaf pan for 18 mins. That gave me 12 nice sized bars of about 3/4 inch tall. I also want to say that I got cake bars, lol. Dreamy soft cake bars, your result might be different but I thought that you should how mine came out. It's delicious too!"

  1. 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]
