Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) Butter or Margarine melted
• 2 cups Sugar
• 2/3 cup Almonds slivered
• 1 package (12 oz.) Chocolate Chips

Directions

Add sugar and almonds to melted butter. Cook on high, stirring constantly, until it begins to melt and get caramel in color (7 to 9 minutes). It will first be foamy looking, then become more like liquid as it turns to the brown caramel color.

Empty into a metal cookie sheet (10x15) in a thin layer. Leave space at a corner to pry it up later.

Spread chocolate chips over the toffee. Wait for 2 minutes then spread into an even coating. Leave in a cool place for several hours to cool, then break into bite-sized pieces.

This candy freezes well.
