Ah, the sweet, crunchy, buttery bliss of Almond Buttercrunch Candy! This nostalgic treat has been a favorite for generations, and for good reason. The combination of rich chocolate, crunchy almonds, and buttery toffee is simply irresistible.
Making Almond Buttercrunch Candy at home is surprisingly easy, and it's a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth without breaking the bank. Plus, it's a fun and delicious project to do with kids. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and let's get started!
Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Grease a 14 x 18 inch cookie sheet.
- Sprinkle one package of chocolate chips on prepared pan. Place in warm oven until chips melt, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven, and spread melted chocolate over bottom of pan; set aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter and brown sugar. Stirring constantly, heat to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Immediately remove from heat. Stir in 3/4 cup slivered almonds and pour onto pan with melted chocolate; spread mixture evenly.
- Sprinkle remaining package of chocolate chips over the almond layer. The heat from the almond layer will melt the chocolate chips; spread melted chocolate evenly. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup almonds over chocolate.
- Cut into squares, or allow to harden in a solid sheet and break it apart like brittle. Cool completely before removing from pan.
