6 tablespoons water
1 cup finely chopped almonds
1 (11 1/2 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips

Steps:

  • While the mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate over low flame until all the chips are gone, and chocolate is smooth.

  • Pour the hot chocolate over the almond mixture and spread evenly.
  • Sprinkle with remaining almonds and allow candy to cool completely and chocolate to harden before breaking apart and serving.
  • Note: I let mine refrigerate over night after breaking the into squares, and they had a better texture this way, we thought.
