CHERRY ALMOND NANAIMO BARS
Very rich bars - do not remain on a plate long. My son begs me to make these all the time but I usually save them for a special treat at Christmas.

CHERRY ALMOND NANAIMO BARS
These go well on any goody platter. They're great for valentine's day parties 'cause they're pink! I also pair these with my Chocolate Mint Nanaimo Bars on Christmas platters. Green and red, what's more Christmasy? The filling is so good with chunks of cherries throughout YUM!Note: Don't let the long list intimidate you...these are really easy to make and time below includes chilling times.

- Prepare an 8 or 9 inch pan by lining it with foil or parchment paper, and greasing it with cooking spray or butter.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter using an electric mixer. Add the cherry juice and almond extract and mix. Gradually beat in the icing sugar until it is s a smooth, spreadable consistency. On low, mix in the maraschino cherries.
- Chop or break apart the chocolate into small pieces so that it melts more easily. Place in a small bowl with the butter and microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Do not over-do it otherwise the chocolate could seize. Once melted and smooth, use a fork to flick/drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the cherry icing. If it's too thick, warm in the microwave briefly. Place the pan in the freezer to set.
