Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the sugar, water, and light corn syrup until combined.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
  4. Attach a candy thermometer and cook without stirring until the temperature reaches 290&# 194;°F (143ðC) (soft-crack stage). The mixture should turn a light amber color.
  5. Remove from heat and quickly stir in half of the chopped almonds.
  6. Immediately pour the hot caramel mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Let the candy cool for 2-3 minutes until the surface begins to firm.
  8. Sprinkle the milk chocolate chips evenly over the warm caramel.
  9. Allow the chips to sit for 2-3 minutes until softened, then spread into an even layer with a spatula.
  10. Sprinkle the remaining chopped almonds over the chocolate while it is still soft.
  11. Let the candy cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
  12. Break or crack the candy into bite-sized pieces.
  13. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
