Recipe



Layer One:
Preheat to 350.
Combine ingredients until well mixed.
Press into a 9 x 14 pan.
Bake for 15 minutes.

Layer Two: Prepare while layer one bakes.
Beat ingredients until creamy.
Pour over baked crust immediately after removing from the oven.
Bake for 15 more minutes.
Let cool completely.

Topping:
Mix all ingredients and spread over cooled bars.
Put slivered almonds on top.

Notes:
I used unsalted butter, regular cream cheese and large eggs.
I chopped the almonds and spread them on top.
I had to add additional mik to the topping to get it to spreading consistency.
