Yield 56

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 (11.5 ounce) packages milk chocolate chips, divided
2 cups butter
1 pound brown sugar
1 cup blanched slivered almonds, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Grease a 14 x 18 inch cookie sheet.

  • In a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter and brown sugar. Stirring constantly, 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. Immediately remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup slivered almonds and pour onto pan with melted chocolate; spread mixture evenly.

1 cup butter
2 cups crushed almonds
1 ¼ cups white sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your almond buttercrunch. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a smooth, rich flavor.
  • Use fresh almonds: Fresh almonds will give your almond buttercrunch a more nutty flavor and a better texture. If you can, buy whole almonds and chop them yourself.
  • Don't overcook the sugar: The sugar should be cooked until it is a light amber color. If you overcook it, it will become bitter.
  • Let the almond buttercrunch cool completely before breaking it up: This will help to prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Almond buttercrunch is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give almond buttercrunch a try!
