1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. almond extract

Combine first 7 ingredients with mixer for 3 minutes. Divide dough into 3 small bowls. Add almond extract and 5 drops red food dye to one bowl. Stir until mixed thoroughly. Melt chocolate and add to second bowl, stirring well. Mix nuts with remaining third bowl.

Line a loaf pan with waxed paper and spread almond dough evenly. Then spread walnut dough and top layer chocolate. Cover with waxed paper and refrigerate 4 hours or until firm.
