Orange Marmalade Almond Bars

 

Thank you Teresa of Keeping It Real for the Feature of my Bittersweet Coffee Cake

Love comes in different colors.💗🧡💓. In my world of homebaking, Orange is the New Pink! I am having Orange Marmalade Almond Bars today. I can't contain my excitement, these bars are gorgeous and delicious. Oh I love them, I think I will have a series of baking to do, all with Orange fruit, be it bars, brownies, cookies, squares, cupcakes, muffins and cakes.🎂 Remember the Reader's Digest Book of Cookies Circa long time ago that I bought in a thrift shop? Well I got the recipe from there but I made some slight changes. As you know I always change and formulate according to my taste.
