- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped almonds
- 1 stick (4 oz) butter

Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the baking pan.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl.
- Grate the Almond Paste (using the large hole side of the box grater) into the flour. Add the chocolate chips and almonds.
