Ingredients
1 package fudge brownie mix (13-inch x 9-inch pan size)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup canola oil
1 egg
3/4 cup chopped almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract
FILLING:
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
TOPPING:
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean (do not overbake). Cool on a wire rack.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Beat in the milk, extract and melted chips. Spread over brownies. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
For topping, in a small saucepan, melt chips and cream over low heat, stirring occasionally. Spread over filling. Sprinkle with almonds. Refrigerate at least 1 hour longer before cutting. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
