Description

This candy tastes wonderful and takes about 15 minutes to make. My sister and I did three batches in an hour one year for Christmas. I use a cast iron skillet and some times just a few of the almonds to help gauge the readiness.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
  1. 1. Butter a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
  2. 2. Melt butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in sugar and water. Bring to a boil and add almonds. Cook, stirring constantly until nuts are toasted and the sugar is golden. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan; do not spread.
  3. 3. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate chips on top. Let stand for a minute, then spread the chocolate over the top. Let cool completely, then break into pieces.
