Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
For crust and topping
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup whole almonds, coarsely chopped
For filling
1 1/2 tsp instant-espresso powder or instant coffee
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
3 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup sugar
1 large egg
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Make crust and topping: Preheat oven to 350. Beat together butter and brown sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes with a standing mixer or 3 minutes with a handheld. Reduce speed to low and mix in flour and salt just until a dough forms.
Pat two thirds of dough evenly over bottom of a buttered 8 inch square metal baking pan. Bake crust in middle of oven until edge is golden, about 12 minutes.
While crust is baking, work almonds into remaining dough with your hands until crumbs form, then reserve for topping. Cool crust in pan on a rack.
Make filling while crust cools: Dissolve espresso powder in vanilla in a small cup. Beat together cream cheese and sugar with cleaned beaters at medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes, then add egg and espresso mixture and beat well. Stir in chocolate chips.
Pour filling onto cooled crust and crumble topping evenly over filling. Bake in middle of oven until edges are golden, about 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on rack. Cut into 16 bars.
