1/4 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Finely process cookies and put in 9" spring form pan. Add sugar, stir. Add melted butter, stir. Press crust evenly on bottom and halfway up side of pan. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes, until crust is set.

Filling:
2 pounds cream cheese
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon almond extract
4 eggs, room temperature
5-8 Almond Joy candy bars cut into 1/2" pieces

Beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add extract. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Fold in candy bars. Pour filling into crust and bake about 1 hour or until middle is set. Serves 12-16
