Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds
• 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips

1. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil. Butter the foil to grease and set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan over low heat. Add sugar; heat to boiling, stirring constantly.
