     1 c  ; ?


     2    Sticks butter


     1 c  Granulated sugar


     3 tb Water


     1 ts Light corn syrup


     1 c  Toasted almonds; chop fine


     1 c  Milk chocolate chips






 Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the sugar, water and corn syrup. Cook


 the mixture over medium heat, stirring. When the sugar dissolves and the


 mixture begins to boil, raise the heat and bring the mixture to 290 on a


 cooking thermometer. It will be light brown in color and syrup will


 separate into threads that are not brittle when dribbled into cold water.


 Quickly stir in 1/2 cup chopped almonds. Immediately pour the mixture onto


 an ungreased baking sheet. Wait 2-3 minutes for the candy surface to firm,,


 then sprinkle on the chocolate chips. IN a few minutes, when the chips have


 softened, spread the chocolate evenly over the surface. Sprinkle the


 remaining almonds over the melted chocolated.When the chocolate hardens,


 crack the candy into pieces, store covered. NOTE: Heath bar or hersheys.


 These two candy bars are very similar, and both are composed of ingredients


 similar to those in ALmond roca. One obvious difference is that thre are no


 almonds on top of these bars. To make these candy bars, simply follow the


 directions for almond roca but omit the nuts.
