A very yummy, refreshing dessert or in my case...BREAKFAST!

I was watching Good things Utah the other day and they made this recipe...it looked so good I just had to try it...It is really really yummy! Chris even made the comment that he could take a bath in 'this stuff' so there you have it...good enough to bathe in...


Mandarin Coconut Pudding Bars

Crust:
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup finely chopped macadamia nuts
1¾ cups flour
¼ t. salt
1½ sticks butter
¼ t. almond extract


Filling:
2 (11 oz.) cans mandarin oranges in light syrup, undrained
¼ cup sugar
24 oz. sour cream (1 - 16 oz. and 1 - 8 oz)
2 (3.4 oz.) pkg. coconut cream instant pudding
1 (8 oz.) container of whipped topping (vanilla or chocolate)

Preparations for crust:
In food processor, pulse dry ingredients until well blended. Cut butter into small pieces and add to processor along with almond extract. Blend all together in processor until a sandy consistency is reached. Press onto bottom of lightly greased 9x13 inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool.

Preparations for filling:
