Ingredients
Directions
Special equipment:
a nonstick cookie sheet; a candy thermometer- Have a nonstick cookie sheet ready.
- Use a good quality pan and candy thermometer and melt the butter, sugar, corn syrup and 3 tablespoons water. Mixing often, cook until it registers 270 degrees F on the candy thermometer. Add 1 cup almonds and keep mixing often until it reaches 300 degrees F. Quickly pour onto the nonstick cookie sheet, spreading with a rubber spatula across most of the cookie sheet.
- Melt 8 ounces of the chocolate in the microwave or on the stovetop. Spread and smooth the chocolate over the top of the candy. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle 1/2 cup almonds on top. Let cool completely.
- Loosen the candy from the cookie sheet by flexing the pan sides. Flip the candy over. (It is okay if it breaks in a few pieces.)
- Melt the remaining 8 ounces chocolate. Spread and smooth the chocolate over the top of the candy. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup almonds on top. Let cool completely. Break up the candy into 2-inch pieces. You will have all different sizes. Enjoy and share.
