Toffee Butter Crunch

1 cup butter
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3 tablespoons water
1 cup coarsely chopped blanched almonds, toasted
4 4-1/2-ounce bars milk chocolate, melted
1 cup finely chopped blanched almonds, toasted

Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring now and then, to hard-crack stage (300 F on your candy thermometer) - watch carefully after temperature reaches 280 F. Quickly stir in coarsely chopped nuts; spread in well-greased 13x9 inch pan. Cool thoroughly. Turn out on waxed paper; spread top with half the melted chocolate; sprinkle with half the finely chopped nuts. Cover with waxed paper; invert; spread again with remaining chocolate. Sprinkle top with remaining nuts. If necessary, chill to firm chocolate. Break into pieces.

Yes the margarine is an absolute no no! I tried it and a major burn and mess to clean up. I have experimented with different chocolate from the bulk store, and as well have used chopped cashews, pecans, walnuts, and even skor pieses that I mixed with the nuts. Definately a hit! five stars

This looks exactly like the recipe from the Better Homes and Garden's Holiday cookbook from many, many years ago (I'm thinking almost 50 years ago.

Just in case you are thinking of substitutions, do not substitute margarine for the butter. To get the right toffee flavor, you must use butter. five stars
