Steps:
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the butter, sugar and 1 cup chopped almonds. Stir constantly until mixture boils, then do not stir or shake. Heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads.
- Pour onto a large buttered cookie sheet. Immediately press chocolate chips onto the hot candy. As the chocolate melts, spread it into a coating over the candy.
- Sprinkle finely chopped almonds over the top; cool, and break into uneven pieces.

ALMOND BUTTERCRUNCH
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Prepare a 4 x 8-inch loaf pan by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar, the corn syrup, and the salt. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves.
- Once the brown sugar melts, start your timer and cook the candy for exactly 6 minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. If you want to use a candy thermometer , stir and boil the toffee until it reaches 290 F/143 C.
- After 6 minutes, pull the toffee pan from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of the chopped toasted almonds. Scrape the toffee into the prepared loaf pan-it should be in a layer about 1/2-inch thick.
- Let the toffee set for about 3 minutes, then use a pizza cutter or paring knife to cut the toffee into thin bars about 1/2-inch wide x 2.5-inches long. These will look like small pieces, but once they are dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts, they'll be substantially bigger. After another 2 minutes, go over your cuts again as the toffee continues to harden.
- As you wait for your toffee to set, chop the remaining 1 cup of toasted almonds very finely. Alternatively, put them in a food processor and pulse for several seconds until they are in very small pieces. Pour the finely chopped almonds into a shallow bowl.
- Once the toffee is completely cool and set, break it into pieces along the lines you made, and trim off any jagged edges with a knife.
- Melt the chocolate or candy coating. Dip each piece of almond buttercrunch in the melted chocolate, then place it in the bowl of nuts. Roll it around until it is coated with nuts on all sides. Take it out with a fork and place it on a baking sheet. Repeat until all the toffee pieces are coated with chocolate and nuts.
- Refrigerate the tray for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate. Bring to room temperature, then serve and enjoy.

ALMOND BUTTER CRUNCH CANDY
This is a yummy candy that I make each year to put in amongst (if that is a word) my cookies on the trays. It came from a Better Homes & Garden Candy Cookbook back in the '60s. It is one that is easy to make and comes out great every time. It is very tasty and has a great crunch if you are sure to bring it to the hard crack stage.

BUTTERY ALMOND CRUNCH
Meet the Cook: This delectable candy is crisp but not as hard as peanut brittle. Some people say it reminds them of the toffee center of a well-known candy bar. Besides cooking, I enjoy gardening, sewing, needlework and family get-togethers. Husband Bob and I have six children, nine grandkids and three great-grandkids. -Mildred Clothier, Oregon, Illinois

Tips for Making Almond Butter Crunch Candy:
- Use a large saucepan or Dutch oven to make the candy. This will give you plenty of room to stir the ingredients and prevent them from burning. - Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If you cook it for too long, it will become too hard and brittle. - If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the sugar mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the mixture forms a hard ball, it is ready. - Stir in the almond butter, vanilla extract, and salt as soon as you remove the sugar mixture from the heat. This will prevent the mixture from hardening too quickly. - Pour the mixture onto a greased baking sheet and let it cool completely. Once it is cool, you can break it into pieces and enjoy. - Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.Conclusion:
Almond butter crunch candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a candy that is both crunchy and chewy. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give almond butter crunch candy a try!
