Ingredients
- 1 Cup Butter (2 Sticks)
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon light corn syrup
- 1 Cup finely Chopped & Toasted Almonds
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
Preparation
Step 1
Melt the butter in a saucepan
add the sugar, water and corn syryp
Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring
hen the sugar dissolves and the miture begins to boil raise the heat and bring the mixture to 290 degrees on a cooking thermometer
this is called the soft crack stage
It will be light brown in color and syrup will separate into threads that are not brittle when dribbled into cold water
Quickly stir in the 1/2 cup chopped almonds
Immediately pour the mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet
I use a silicone baking sheet bought from QVC they work perfect and give the look
Wait 2 or 3 minutes for the candy surfaet to firm then sprinkle on the chocolate chips
in a few minutes when the chips have softened spread the chocolate evenly over the surface
sprinkle the remaining almonds over the melted chocolate
when the chocolate hardens crack the candy into pieces and store covered
