Really excellent candy and perfect for Christmas. Our neighbors always loved getting this.
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 T light corn syrup
1/2 cup coarsely chopped, toasted almonds
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted almonds
Melt butter in heavy 2 quart saucepan. Add sugar, and stir over med. heat until sugar dissolves. Add 3 T water and corn syrup. Cook over med. heat, stirring often to soft crack stage (290 degrees). Will take approx. 12 minutes. WATCH CAREFULLY after temp reaches 280 degrees. Remove from heat and quickly stir in coarsely chopped nuts. Spread on a buttered baking sheet (9 x 13). Immediately sprinkle chocolate over top. Let stand a few minutes. Spread evenly. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts.
Chill to firm.
Break into pieces.
Makes 1 1/2 lbs.
