Ingredients:
- 2 cup. blanched slivered almonds (8 oz.), lightly toasted and finely chopped (i've used whole un-blanched almonds with success)
Directions:
- ***Cook time includes chilling time.***
- Lightly grease 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 jelly-roll pan.
- In heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved and syrup is bubbling. Stir in butter.
- Set candy thermometer in place and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until temperature reaches 300 to 310 degrees F (hard-crack stage), about 20 minutes. (Once temperature reaches 220 degrees F, it will rise quickly, so watch carefully.) Remove from heat.
- Reserve 1/3 c. almonds. Stir remaining 1 2/3 c. almonds into hot syrup. Immediately pour hot mixture into prepared jelly-roll pan; working quickly, with two forks, spread mixture evenly. Cool candy completely in pan on wire rack.
- Meanwhile, in heavy 1-quart saucepan, melt unsweetened and semisweet chocolates and shortening over low heat, stirring, until smooth. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
- Lift out candy, in one piece, and place on cutting board. With narrow metal spatula, spread warm chocolate evenly over candy; sprinkle with reserved 1/3 c. almonds, gently pressing them into chocolate. Let stand until chocolate has set, about 1 hour.
- Use sharp knife to help break hardened candy into pieces. Layer between waxed paper in airtight container. Store in refrigerator up to 1 month.
