Notes: Grandma Coleen only made these at Christmas - that's why I call them Christmas Almond Slices. They're fast and easy to make, look pretty and taste good. A good recipe to send to school or for bake sales. You can do them "nut free" too - substitute vanilla for the almond extract and omit the almonds and coconut on top. Auntie Karen
