White Chocolate Almond Jam Squares, the perfect Christmas Bar Cookie, white chocolate and almonds never tasted so good!

White Chocolate Almond Jam Squares, the perfect Christmas Bar Cookie, white chocolate and almonds never tasted so good!

I have to say I have made more Squares, Bars and Cookies this year than I have ever made, and these White Chocolate Almond Jam Squares have to be one of the best.

My friends and family sure aren’t complaining, but I am looking forward to the calm of the next few months.  Soup anyone?

But before we hit the soup and you know the inevitable “Ok my New Year’s resolution this year (or every year for me anyway 😉 ) is to lose … ” we still have a few days to hit the sweets, so I got together with 20 of my blogging friends to share our favorite Appetizer and Party Desserts. I hope you like them.

I thought this would make the perfect end of the holidays bar dessert.  This year I have suddenly developed a new love for White Chocolate.

I’m not crazy about eating it on its own, but baked it is so deliciously decadent especially in these White Chocolate Almond Jam Squares.

I usually make this in a 9 inch square cake pan and cut it into squares, but this time I decided to make it a little different and make it more as a loaf cake.  Worked perfectly, just has to bake a little longer.  Enjoy!

    Rosemary this looks wonderful. When I make desserts I take a little taste and hurry and give it to the kids and grandkids. I have a tendency to pick up the old fat cells in my behind and thighs. I don’t like overly sweet, sweet ( Okay, once in a while I do) but this sounds perfect for that sweet tooth attack. Have a Happy New Year.

    Rosemary,

    These look absolutely delicious! The best part is that I could see them for breakfast as well as a great snack with tea and of course dessert.
