Almond Roca - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. butter (margarine will work, but not as well)
2 2/3 c. sugar
2 Tbsp. light corn syrup
2 c. almonds, toasted and chopped
1 1/2 c. chocolate chips, melted

Preparation

Toast almonds in the oven (or we use the microwave) until lightly toasted.
Boil butter, sugar, corn syrup and water to 300\u00b0, stirring constantly (it takes a really long time), so the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan and burn.
When mixture reaches 300\u00b0, add chopped almonds.
Pour into greased cookie sheet. Melt chocolate over double boiler or in the microwave.
When candy has hardened, pour chocolate over all and sprinkle with some finely chopped almonds.
When cool, break into pieces.
