Easy Chocolate Almond Butter Bars

It may be September and most of the continent is thinking about fall. But in Hawaii it is still sunny and warm. This quick and easy dessert is perfect for those warm summer days when you just can't imagine turning the oven on but you crave a sweet chocolate treat.

You can use some creativity and top the bars with chopped nuts (I love it with macadamia nuts) or mini-chocolate chips.
