Almond Toffee

1. 1

   Melt butter over low heat in 3-quart heavy saucepan.

2. 2

   Add nuts and sugar.

3. 3

   Turn heat to high and stir rapidly until color changes to a light caramel, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Almonds will start to pop at this stage and mixture will have a compact appearance yet be fluid enough to pour out.

5. 5

   Do not overcook.

6. 6

   Remove from heat and pour at once into a slightly warm ungreased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Spread out as thinly and evenly as possible (about 3/8-inch thickness, candy may not fill pan completely).

7. 7

   Distribute chocolate chips over hot candy and spread evenly when melted.
