Ingredients
Instructions
1
In large saucepan, gently boil syrup, sugar, butter and water until hard crack appears on candy thermometer (300 F/150 C) Do not stir! This step takes at least ten minutes. I mean don’t stir after you have initially stirred up to make sure it is well combined and dissolved and started to boil.
2
Remove from heat, add almonds and mix well.
3
Spread on ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle with chocolate. chips.
4
As they melt, spread chocolate evenly over the candy.
5
Cool in fridge or freezer. Break into bite sized pieces and hide them before someone sees you! You can toast the almonds in a fry pan over medium heat until lightly brown.
