Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small saucepan, combine chocolate chips and shortening over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in almond extract.

Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles. Spread chocolate evenly over each triangle and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Cut each triangle in half and roll up, starting at wide end.

Place rolls on baking sheet and bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden.

Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and serve.
