**Almond And Goat Cheese Candy Bars**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup of almond flour
– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, cold and cubed
– 4 oz of soft mild goat cheese
– 1/4 cup of honey
– 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup of sliced almonds
– Powdered sugar for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
2. In a food processor, combine the almond flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Press the almond mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until slightly golden. Let it cool completely.
4. In a mixing bowl, blend the soft goat cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread the mixture over the cooled crust.
5. Sprinkle the sliced almonds over the top, gently pressing them into the goat cheese layer.
6. Bake the bars for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the goat cheese layer is set.
7. Let the bars cool in the pan before transferring to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours.
8. Once chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan. Dust the top with powdered sugar for a final touch.
9. Slice the bars into squares or bars of your desired size, and serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
