It's almond paste, which is ground up almonds and sugar. You can find
it in small packages or tins in the baking aisle in the supermarket.
It's popular among Dutch folks - if you find a Dutch store (like in the
Grand Rapids, MI area) you can even buy it in huge 7lb cans.
Here's a yummy recipe i got from my (Dutch) mother-in-law:
Almond Bars
1 c butter
1.25 - 1.5 c almond paste
1.75 c sugar
2 eggs
0.5 t salt
2 c flour
0.5 c sliced almonds
Cream together butter & almond paste. Beat in eggs and sugar until
smooth. Stir in flour and salt (you may want to sift them together
beforehand, but it works ok without). Pour into prepared 9x13 pan -
dough will be thick, make sure to pat it into the corners. Sprinkle
with sliced almonds, pat lightly to press into surface. Bake, 300
degrees for 40 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Cool, then
slice into bars. Store refrigerated. Freeze extremely well.
Enjoy!
