Then add the sliced almonds and stir until combined.Pour the mixture into the greased pan and press down firmly. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or chill in the freezer for 30-45 minutes, or until firm. Use a pizza cutter to cut into bars.Melt the white chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals at 50% power, stirring and heating until just melted, but not too warm. Dip the bottoms of the bars into the chocolate, use a fork to carefully remove them from the chocolate then lay them on a cookie sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Using a fork, drizzle a little chocolate on top in a back and forth pattern.
