Almond Buttercrunch Candy I recipe

3 servings

Ingredients:

2 (11.5 ounce) packages milk chocolate chips, divided

2 cups butter

1 pound brown sugar

1 cup blanched slivered almonds, divided

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Grease a 14 x 18 inch cookie sheet.

Sprinkle one package of chocolate chips on prepared pan.

Place in warm oven until chips melt, about 5 minutes.

Remove from oven, and spread melted chocolate over bottom of pan; set aside.

In a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter and brown sugar.

Stirring constantly, heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads.

Immediately remove from heat.

Stir in 3/4 cup slivered almonds and pour onto pan with melted chocolate; spread mixture evenly.

Sprinkle remaining package of chocolate chips over the almond layer.

The heat from the almond layer will melt the chocolate chips; spread melted chocolate evenly.

Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup almonds over chocolate.

Cut into squares, or allow to harden in a solid sheet and break it apart like brittle.

Cool completely before removing from pan.
