Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup cold butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or 2 cups chopped chocolate bark
• 1 cup slivered almonds, toasted to a mid-golden

Recipe

• 1 line a 13x9 pan with aluminum foil, leaving about 4 inches overhang over each end for a "handle.".
• 2 toast the almonds in a skillet or the oven to a fragrant golden brown.
• 3 combine the butter and sugar in a saucepan over high heat. cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (i used a whisk once and it worked fine) until mixture darkens to a nutty golden.
• 4 (the process starts slowly, then happens very fast, so when it begins to darken, stir like mad and snatch it off the heat once it's darkened a couple of shades.)
• 5 pour into foil-lined pan, spreading quickly. let cool about 10 minutes. top with chocolate or chocolate. let melt a few minutes, then spread evenly. press toasted almonds into the chocolate. let cool completely, then break into pieces. (striking it with the tip of a table knife works well for breaking into useful size pieces.).
