Six-Layer Bars ( Magic Bars)

This is super-easy to make, almost no-prep work, just minor ones like melting the butter and chopping the nuts.  Finely crushed Graham crackers are available now, which made this even more enticing to try.

This cake is on top of my favorites at the moment,  it is very similar to my favorite chocolate cake recipe except this one has ground almonds (which I like better ) instead of flour and cocoa.
