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

1. Over Medium heat, melt butter in a large pot.

2. Add corn syrup, water and sugar to pot.

3. 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).

4. Remove from heat.

5. Stir in 1/2 of the almonds.

6. Turn mixture onto a greased cookie sheet WITH EDGES!

7. While the mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate over low flame until all the chips are gone, and chocolate is smooth.

8. Score the Almond butter mixture into the shape you desire (I just scored into rectangle shapes).

9. Pour the hot chocolate over the almond mixture and spread evenly.

10. Sprinkle with remaining almonds.

11. Allow candy to cool completely and chocolate to harden before breaking apart and serving.
