White Chocolate Cherry Bliss Bars

I love fresh fruit seasons and cherries are no exception.  It is one of those that we get a little indulgence of for what seems like a short period of time here.  Usually we eat them so quick, but this time I actually got to them first and after eating my fair share created this beauty.

In a bowl mix almonds,flour,coconut, butter and sugar until crumbs form. Press 2 cups of this mixture in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan.

Top with the cherries, white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk.

Sprinkle the top with the remaining crumb mixture.
