Mom used to make this every Christmas that I can remember. We kids used to look forward to it. Now I make it for my family.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 cup white sugar
- 3 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup toasted and chopped almonds
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup toasted and chopped almonds
PREPARATION:
Butter a baking sheet, and set aside.
Melt margarine in 2 quart saucepan. Add sugar, and stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Stir in water and the corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, to 270 degrees F (132 degrees C).
Remove from heat, and quickly stir in coarse nuts. Spread on to prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle chocolate over hot candy; when it begins to melt, spread evenly over the top. Top with nuts. Refrigerate until firm. Break into small pieces to serve.
