    Chocolate Almond Butter Crunch


    Source of Recipe


    Denise

    List of Ingredients




    About 1 1/2 lbs.
    1 cup butter
    1 cup sugar
    2 T. water
    1 T. light corn syrup
    1 cup finely chopped blanched almonds
    1 (6 oz.) pkg. semisweet chocolate pieces

    Recipe



    1. Butter a baking sheet (a little smaller than jelly roll, if you have
    it.) Set aside.

    2. In a 2 quart saucepan, over a low heat, melt butter.
    Add sugar and heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Stir in the water and
    the corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the
    mixture reaches about 290 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat
    and stir in almonds.

    3. Pour the candy mixture onto prepared baking sheet
    and spread to about 1/4 inch thickness. As the crunch cools, loosen from
    the baking sheet with a spatula.

    4. Melt the chocolate pieces over
    simmering water. Spread 1/2 the chocolate over the cooled crunch (keep
    remaining chocolate warm over hot water). If you like, while the chocolate
    is still wet, dust with crushed almonds. When firm, turn the crunch over
    and spread the other side with chocolate. When this side is firm, break
    into pieces.
