Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb unsalted butter
2 c sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 c water
3/4 c corn syrup, light
2 c chopped toasted almonds
1 pkg milk chocolate chips 11.5 oz
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Line cookie sheet with HEAVY DUTY foil, smear butter all over. Sprinkle with 1 cup chopped almonds.
  • 2. Put 1 lb. unsalted butter in pan, melt on medium heat. Don't burn. When butter is just about melted add 2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 3/4 cup corn syrup, 1/2 cup water. Stir. Turn up to medium/high heat, attach candy thermometer and cook until it reaches 305 degrees. This step should take approximately 20 minutes. You can give it an occasional stir.

Wait 3-5 minutes and then pour the chocolate chips on the top, evenly. Let sit and melt for 3-5 minutes. Smooth out chocolate. Add your 2nd cup of chopped almonds now and sprinkle on the top of the chocolate.
  • 4. It usually takes 2-3 hours for the candy to set up. At that point you can break it into pieces and put in your containers.
