Almond Butter Crunch
List of Ingredients
1 cup blanched slivered almonds
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrupRecipe
Line bottom and sides of an 8 or 9 inch pan with aluminum foil (not plastic wrap or wax paper). Butter foil heavily. Set aside. Combine almonds, butter, sugar and corn syrup in 10 inch skillet. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil, stirring constantly, till mixture turns a golden brown about 5-6 minutes. Watch carefully. Working quickly, spread candy in prepared pan. Cool about 15 minutes, or till firm*.
Remove candy from pan by lifting edges of foil. Peel off foil. Cool thoroughly. Candy may be presented as a disk or broken into pieces. Makes about 3/4 pound.
*For a variation, melt 3 ounces of semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips in a double boiler. Spread over cooled candy and proceed as directed.
