Hello Georgia,
Could this be it?
Phaed
Rio Casino Almond Bars
Ingredients :
Sugar Dough
1 cup butter - (2 sticks)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 x eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/2 cup cake flour plus more
Assembly
1 cup butter - (2 sticks)
2/3 cup honey
1 cup granulated sugar
4 cup sliced almonds
Method :
For the sugar dough, cream butter until pale and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Add powdered sugar and blend until smooth but not airy. Add eggs, 1 at
a time, and vanilla and blend well. Gradually add cake flour and mix
until smooth. Flatten dough into rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap and
chill in refrigerator 2 hours.
Roll out dough on floured board to 15- by 10-inch rectangle 1/8-inch
thick. Wrap dough around rolling pin and transfer to jelly roll pan
lined with waxed paper or parchment paper. Press dough into pan bottom,
trimming edges to fit. Use any scraps to fill gaps in dough, pressing
seams together. Prick all over with fork. Bake at 350 degrees until
slightly browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on rack.
For assembly, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Add honey and
granulated sugar and bring to boil. Add nuts, return to boil then remove
from heat. Let cool slightly. Pour warm filling into shell, spreading
evenly. Do not overfill. Bake at 350 degrees until topping bubbles and
turns golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool, then cut into bars.
This recipe yields 48 (3- by 1 1/2-inch) bars.
Hi,
Thought I was going send you another source for Bill Knapp's recipes
on the Lansing State Journal Web site but it appears to be gone. :-(
Here is one recipe I did not see on your list.
Orange-Nut Bread
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons grated orange rind
1/3 cup orange juice
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Grease an 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan.
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Melt butter in boiling water. Add orange rind, orange juice, sugar,
vanilla and beaten egg and blend.
Sift dry ingredients over orange mixture. Add nuts.
Stir just until flour is damp. Batter will be lumpy.
Pour into prepared pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.

Hello Keila,
They must have begun changing the recipe while it was still in Puerto Rico,
Keila. Every one of the below recipes is from a Puerto Rican or an ex- Puerto
Rican. Two of them are in Spanish. But none of them calls for freezing the
mixture into ice cream. I could not find one that did so. Every description,
even on the Puerto Rican sites, said coquito is a thick drink like eggnog,
not an ice cream. The first recipe does have ice cream as an ingredient.

Cover and refrigerate. You should make this a day or two ahead of time.
The flavors really combine as it chills. If you don't have time, make sure
to chill it for at least three to four hours. Serve garnished with an extra
sprinkle of cinnamon!
