Ingredients

1 cup vegetable shortening
4 ounces chocolate unsweetened unsweetened
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs beaten
2 tablespoons amaretto liquer
1 1/2 cups flour, all-purpose
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 Handful almonds sliced
Amaretto frosting
1/4 cup butter or margarine
2 tablespoons cream, half and half
1 ounce chocolate unsweetened unsweetened
1 dash salt
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar sifted
2 tablespoons amaretto liquer

Directions

Combine shortening (Crisco butter-flavored is good, or I've used margarine to be cholesterol-conscious) and chocolate in heavy saucepan; place over low heat, stirring constantly, until combined.

Remove from heat and cool.

Stir in eggs and amaretto.

Combine flour and salt; add to creamed mixture, stirring well.

Pour batter into a lightly greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch king pan.

Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes; cool.

Frost with Amaretto frosting, sprinkle with sliced almonds (or arrange in flowery patterns).

Cut into squares.

Note: 3 Tablespoons powdered baking cocoa can be substituted for chocolate squares.

Combine butter and chocolate in a heavy saucepan; place over low heat and stir constantly until melted.

Stir in half and half.

Add powdered sugar, salt, Amaretto, stirring until smooth.

Perfectly balanced flavors. Wonderful aroma. I used a 15 oz. can of coconut milk....and added more as the dish simmered.
