I would use half again as much almond paste in them next time to bulk up that flavor and to add just a little more moisture to the bar. I would cut back the sliced almonds on the top to half of what is called for. http://www.cooking.com//Recipes-and-More/recipes/White-Chocolate-Drizzled-Almond-Bars-recipe-10001642.aspx
