Almond Fruit Bars

Here's a yummy recipe from Everyday Food magazine. It calls for using a stick of butter, but I substituted a 1/2 cup of butter-flavored Crisco with good results.

I highly recommend lining the baking pan with foil sleeves before adding in the ingredients. After baking and cooling, you can lift out the entire dessert to a cutting board. So much easier to cut the bars this way!
