If you like rich, buttery toffee this is a fantastic recipe. If
you like Heath candy bars then try this recipe. It is MUCH BETTER than a
Heath candy bar. This is a GREAT Christmas candy recipe.
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cup sugar
5 Tblsp. water 2 0r 3 Hershey Bars
1/4 to 1/2 cup walnuts, very finely chopped
Melt butter. Add sugar and water; boil for 3 minutes, stirring
constantly.
Add almonds; boil until it's a real rich caramel
color. (You want it nice and rich and kind of dark to give it the right
flavor, just be careful not to burn it). Again, stir constantly.
Pour into foil lined pan. When set, place Hershey bars on top to melt; spread.
Then cover with chopped walnuts. Press nuts firmly into chocolate with
spoon.
Cool.
Store covered in refrigerator to keep chocolate
from melting, or just put in a cool place. If you put it in the
refrigerator take out an hour or so before eating so it's not too hard. (You
don't want to break a tooth).
Note: You may have to make a batch or two to get the right color down in order to get the right flavor, but you'll get the hang of it. It's supposed to be a real rich tasting candy
