  30-60 minutes

ingredients

2 cups butter or regular margarine
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
6 tablespoons water
1 cup almonds, blanched, slivered
6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3/4 cup almonds, toasted, sliced

directions

Melt the butter in a heavy 10-inch skillet. Add the sugar, corn syrup, water and 1 cup of almonds. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils.

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches the soft crack stage, (290 degrees F on a candy thermometer).

Pour the mixture into a greased 17- x 14-inch baking sheet (jelly roll pan).

Melt the chocolate chips with the shortening, over hot water, stirring until smooth. Spread on the toffee, which has been scored with a sharp knife in to bars.

Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of toasted almonds. When the chocolate has set, break apart at the scores and store in a cool place in tins.
