Ingredients

2 sticks (1 cup) butter (may use Imperial margarine, but not other type)
1 tablespoon white corn syrup
2 tablespoon water
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup sliced or slivered almonds
1 7-ounce bar of chocolate


Directions

Mix all ingredients except almonds and chocolate in electric frying pan. Cook on high heat. Stir all the time you cook, 8-10 minutes. Candy will get very thick and will turn golden brown in color. It will also follow spoon around the pan. Add almonds, stirring constantly. Pour on buttered cookie sheet. While hot, break chocolate bar on top of candy. When it's melted, spread over the surface of the toffee and sprinkle chopped nuts on top. If you want to coat the candy with chocolate on both sides, wait until the chocolate sets on one side. Then turn pan upside down on a clean surface, and frost bottom of the candy with chocolate and nuts as before. Break into serving pieces.
