Oh my goodness...my mouth started watering! They are pretty! I wish I had one right now as a bedtime snack!
Yummy!!! That looks good, I will have to subsitute the almond extract for something else..I am allergic to almond. Thanks for sharing. Blessings
I love the flavors of cherry and almond.. these bars look delicious, I'm tempted to make them this weekend.
Feel to eat it, then i realized it is a picture!

My husband loves cherry treats so I will have to make this recipe. Thanks for sharing!
...me too. I love everything cherry [except for cherry flavored licorice]. lol
Looks mighty delicious Mari.
Another goodie to try! Thank you.
Hi Mari! When I first saw these, I thought 'My husband is going to love these too!" But I also thought I'm not going to make a yeast bread. Too tricky for me.
Yay! No yeast!! These bars look delicious.
My husband loves fruit in his cakes, so I'll copy this recipe. I think he's going to love it.
Thank you!!
Blessings,

I'm so jealous that I can't have some too. It looks just as delish as you describe!
This sounds so good. It's going to seem silly since it's homemade and that's the whole point, but it reminds me of an Entenmann's cake my grandmother used to serve. I loved that so much.
Who doesn't love cherries? Sure, we have to deal with the pits; kind of like life, huh? But you still have to love the cherries. :)
so of course now i'm hungry! :P
Oh my, this looks delicious. My hubby love anything with cherries too. Can't wait to make it!
Cherries are one of my favorite fruits also.....second to lemon. So, I put cherries and lemon together and VIOLA! So yum! I have a cherry lemon pie that is so tasty.
Cherry & Almond - great combination! I mix dried cherries and unsalted almonds for a snack...delicious! Thanks for sharing!
Ooooh I'm with Bob, put cherries on it. Audrey loves cherry desserts too. I'm going to try this one. xoxo
