Mock Cuban Lunch Chocolate Bars

Do you remember the Cuban Lunch Chocolate Bar?

If you are Canadian you might remember it....

I loved them..

A large bar with thick chocolate that crunches in each bite.. full of peanuts.

It makes my mouth water just thinking about it...

I am not even sure that you can buy them anymore...

But you can make them with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanutbutter chips, 

ripple chips and peanuts..

YES! I said ripple chips...

I have been trying very hard not to make anything with peanuts

so I had though Almond Butter would taste good in them...

I couldn't find any Almond Butter, instead I found the next best thing..

Caramel Almond Spread

and is it good... If you haven't tried it you need too...
