Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup unblanched (skin on) whole almonds
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 (12 oz.) package milk chocolate chips (2 cups)
• 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions

• Toast almonds by spreading them in a single layer on a plate and microwaving on high for 2-3 minutes (stir after each minute).  On foil-lined baking sheet, arrange almonds in a single layer over an area measuring approx. 13x9 inches.  In a heavy 2-quart saucepan combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt.  Cook over med-high heat, stirring constantly with a clean, dry wooden spoon till butter is melted.  Continue cooking and stirring for approx. 7-10 min. till candy is the color of the brown skin of the almonds; it will start smoking slightly. Immediately pour candy, without scraping pan, over almonds, covering all nuts.  Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the hot candy.  Wait 1 minute and spread the melted chocolate until it is smooth.  Sprinkle with pecans.  Let cool and break into pieces.  Store in a tightly covered container in cool place or refrigerator.
