Preparation

Step 1

1. Line a microwave-safe 2-quart rectangular baking dish with parchment paper, extending paper over edges of dish. Cover bottom of prepared dish with a single layer of graham crackers, breaking crackers as necessary to fit. Sprinkle crackers with almonds.

2. In a microwave-safe 4-cup glass measure or medium bowl, combine brown sugar and butter. Microwave, uncovered, on 100 percent power (high) for 3 minutes or just until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. Quickly pour over crackers and nuts in dish. (Work quickly because mixture separates.)

3. Microwave mixture in baking dish, uncovered, for 1-1/2 minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate pieces. Chill for 1 to 2 hours or until chocolate is set. Use parchment paper to lift candy from dish. Break into irregular-size pieces. Makes 12 to 16 servings.

To Store: Layer pieces between waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. If frozen, thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
