Ingredients:

• 5 C. granulated sugar  
• 1 C. water  2
• 1/2 lb. (10 sticks) sweet cream butter  
• 2 C. whole, shelled almonds  24 oz. semisweet or milk chocolate bars or chips (for coating)  
• 3 C. almonds, ground  

Method

Grease two 9 x 13-inch baking pans with vegetable oil. Combine sugar and water in a 4-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture registers 231 degrees on a candy thermometer. Add butter slowly until all is melted. Add whole almonds and cook until they are golden brown. Pour mixture into prepared pans (mixture should be about 1/2 inch deep) and immerse pans in ice water to harden toffee. Remove toffee onto wax paper or parchment paper. Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Coat the top side of the toffee with half the melted chocolate and sprinkle with half the ground almonds. Repeat on underside of toffee.
