Bake-Off° Contest 34, 1990.
This very rich almond-flavored, three-layered brownie will please even the most discriminating brownie lover. Serve them in miniature foil cups for a special touch on a cookie tray.


   BROWNIES
   1 (1-pound 3.5-oz) package fudge brownie mix
   1/2 cup oil
   1/3 cup water
   2 tablespoons amaretto or 1 teaspoon almond extract*
   1 egg
   3/4 cup chopped almonds
   
   FILLING
   1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
   1/4 cup powdered sugar
   1 (6-ounce) package (1 cup) semisweet chocolate chips, melted
   2 tablespoons (2 to 3) amaretto or 1 teaspoon almond extract*
   
   TOPPING
   1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
   1/4 cup whipping cream
   1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted*


Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13 x 9-inch pan. In large bowl, combine all brownie ingredients. Beat 50 strokes by hand. Spread batter in greased pan. Bake at 350°F. for 26 to 33 minutes or until set. Cool completely.

In small bowl, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar at medium speed until smooth. Add melted chocolate chips and 2 to 3 tablespoons amaretto; beat until well blended. Spread filling mixture over top of cooled brownies. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until firm.

In small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with whipping cream, stirring constantly until smooth. Carefully spread topping mixture evenly over chilled filling. Sprinkle with sliced almonds. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until set. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.

TIPS:
* If using almond extract instead of amaretto, increase water in brownies to 1/2 cup; use almond extract and 2 tablespoons milk in filling.
**To toast almonds, spread on cookie sheet; bake at 350°F. for 5 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring occasionally. Or spread in thin layer in microwave-safe pie pan. Microwave on HIGH for 3 to 4 minutes or until light golden brown, stirring frequently.

HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Add 1/3 cup flour to dry brownie mix. Bake at 350°F. for 30 to 35 minutes.
