Time: 30 minutes
Yield: one large jelly roll pan full
2 C butter
2 C sugar
3 T corn syrup
6 T hot water
1/2 C sliced almonds
2 C chocolate chips (semi or milk...whatever you prefer)
1/2 t shortening
1/2 C finely chopped almonds
1. Place the butter in a large heavy pot. Turn the heat to medium high.
2. Once the butter is almost melted add the sugar and stir it well to incorporate.
3. Keep stirring. When the mixture has come to a boil add the corn syrup and stir it well.
4. Add the water a few tablespoon or two at a time, in different spots of the pan.
5. Keep stirring and add the the almonds.
6. Now it's just you, the wooden spoon and the candy. Stir it and stir it and stir it over
medium heat. You want to continue cooking it until it until it reaches 275-280 degrees.
This should only take about 8-10 minutes.
7. Remove it from the heat and pour it into a large jelly roll pan. Let it cool completely.
Overnight is best.
8. Pour the chocolate chips into a medium sized bowl and heat them in the microwave
for 30 seconds. Stir and return to the microwave to heat for another 30 seconds.
Stir and repeat until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
9. Add the shortening and allow it to sit in the chocolate for about 30 seconds.
Then stir it around until it melts completely.
10. Pour the chocolate over the top of the cooled candy.
11. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts.
12. Allow the chocolate to cool and set up completely. Then break it into pieces.
Store in an air tight container for up to three weeks.
