You need...

1 pound of butter
1 3/4 cups of sugar
2 tablespoons light Karo syrup
1/2 cup finely slivered/chopped Almonds
6 tablespoons water.

Have one 9 x 12 cookie sheet lined with foil...

Keeping my stove at about 6/7 on the dial.

In a saucepan...

Heat and melt butter, add sugar and mix in.. then add syrup and water.

Stir and continue to stir until the mixture reaches an internal temp. of 285/290 degrees.
or until the mixture is a brown mix. ( like a paper bag colour) May take around 20- 25 minutes.

Once this is achieved, add the slivered/ chopped almonds and stir in.. Pour HOT mixture directlyinto the foil-lined cookie sheet. let it cool.. break apart and enjoy in moderation.

** add chocolate chips on top, once the mixture is poured into the cookie sheet.
They will melt instantly and you can swirl the chocolate all around.
