Almonds
Place nuts in a shallow pan and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Lower oven Temperature to 325 degrees f.
In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and liqueur.
In a seperate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add to the creamed mixture, mixing until blended. Cut nuts into halves or thirds. Fold in nuts and chocolate. Divide dough in half. On a greased and floured baking sheet, pat out into two logs about 1/2-inch high, 1-1/2 inches wide, and 14 inches long, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Bake in the middle of a preheated 325-degree oven for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.
Transfer from the baking sheet to a cooling rack. Let cool for 5 minutes. Place on a cutting board. With a Serrated Knife, slice diagonally on a 45-degree angle about 1/2-inch thick. Place the slices upright on the baking sheet 1/2-inch apart and return to the oven for about 10 minutes longer. Turn them over and bake for another 5 minute to dry slightly. Let cool on a rack.
