ALMOND CRUNCH

I am begged for this recipe whenever I serve it. My advice: Invest in a good candy thermometer and always, always, always use good ingredients. Do not use margarine as a substitute for the butter; the water content is too high.

Ingredients

1 cup blanched slivered almonds
1 cup butter
1 ¼ cups white sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Arrange almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven until lightly browned, approximately 5 minutes.
Line a jelly roll pan with foil.
In a heavy saucepan, combine butter, sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil, without stirring, to hard crack stage, 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove from heat.
Working quickly, stir in almonds, and pour mixture into foil lined jelly roll pan; tip pan from side to side to spread candy evenly in pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over candy brittle. Let stand about 5 minutes, or until shiny and soft. Spread chocolate evenly over candy. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1 hour. Break into bite-size pieces.

This almond crunch is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

This recipe is a waste of time. The almond crunch was bland and tasteless. I won't be making this again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my almond crunch turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This almond crunch is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I can see why people would like it. The crust is flaky and the filling is rich and creamy.

I'm not a big fan of almond crunch, but I have to say, this recipe is pretty darn good. The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is rich and decadent.

This almond crunch is a great make-ahead dessert. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve.
