Ingredients
- 1 lb real butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 6 tablespoons water
- 1 cup finely chopped almonds
- 1 (11 1/2 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips
Directions
-
Over Medium heat, melt butter in a large pot.
-
Add corn syrup, water and sugar to pot.
-
Cook until temp reaches 290 degrees OR until the mixture becomes the color of a brown paper bag (about 15-20 minutes) stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (mixture will rise and bubble quite a bit).
-
Remove from heat.
-
Stir in 1/2 of the almonds.
-
Turn mixture onto a greased cookie sheet WITH EDGES!
-
While the mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate over low flame until all the chips are gone, and chocolate is smooth.
-
Score the Almond butter mixture into the shape you desire (I just scored into rectangle shapes).
-
Pour the hot chocolate over the almond mixture and spread evenly.
-
Sprinkle with remaining almonds.
-
Allow candy to cool completely and chocolate to harden before breaking apart and serving.
