3 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup amaretto liqueur, or an amaretto-flavored syrup
1 tsp almond flavoring
3/4 cup sliced almonds

Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Sprinkle the dish with sliced almonds.

Combine chocolate chips and the sweetened condensed milk in a microwave safe bowl; loosely cover with plastic wrap. Heat for 3 to 3 1/2 minutes, until chocolate is melted; stir until smooth. Stir in the amaretto and almond extract. Spoon the mixture evenly over the almonds then gently spread to the sides of the baking dish. Refrigerate until chilled. Cut into small squares or turn out of the dish and cut into small squares to serve.
