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℉ (200℃) 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.
