For a richer flavor, lightly toast the sliced almonds before sprinkling them on the bars. If the dough is too sticky to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Experiment with different extracts, such as vanilla or lemon, for a unique flavor twist. These bars are delicious served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
