For an even richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. To toast the almonds, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup. These bars can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
