    Source of Recipe


    Southern Living Cookies And Candy Cookbook

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup roasted almonds unblanched, chopped
    1 cup butter
    1 cup sugar
    1/3 cup packed brown sugar
    2 tablespoons water
    1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    3 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

    Recipe



    Sprinkle half the almonds on a greased 9 X 13-inch pan. Melt the butter in a heavy saucepan. Add the sugars and water and mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Cook to 300 degrees on candy thermometer or hard-crack stage. Remove from heat and stir in soda quickly. Pour carefully over almonds in pan and let cool for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate bits over toffee and spread out evenly. Heat of candy will melt chocolate. Sprinkle remaining almonds over chocolate and press in lightly. Cool, then break into pieces. Yields 1-1/2 pounds
