2 cups almond slivers
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water (or less)
Topping
12 ounces melting(coating) chocolate (can use chips, but if they have a gray bloom, they might not melt)
Recipe
In a heavy sauce pan, boil almond slivers, sugar and water over low heat to medium heat until all the water is gone and the sugar crystallizes on the peanuts. Pour almond slivers out onto a well greased baking sheet. Separate clumps with a greased fork. Bake in a preheated 350° F oven about 15 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
Melt chocolate over low heat with constant stirring. When candied almonds have cooled, dip into melted chocolate.
Place on foil to set.
