Rich and buttery, draped in chocolate...this is the best candy recipe I've come across...definetly to die for! Ingredients:
1 cup white sugar |
1 cup butter |
3 tablespoons water |
1 1/2 cups slivered almonds |
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted |
1/4 cup finely chopped toasted almond |
Directions:
1. Heat the sugar, butter and water in a large, heavy pot with buttered sides.
2. Cook rapidly and stir constantly, being careful not to scrape sides of pan.
3. Cook until mixture reaches 300 degrees or the hard-crack stage, when a small amount of mixture dropped into a glass of cold water separates into threads that are hard and brittle.
4. Add 1 1/2 cups of almonds and stir.
5. Quickly turn the candy out onto a buttered cookie sheet.
6. Form into a shape about 1 foot square.
7. When almost cool, brush with melted chocolate and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
8. Break into pieces when cold.
