Zubereitung von Almond Butter Crunch Candy
- **Candy Base:** In a large saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup water to the melted butter.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches the hard-crack stage (300°F) on a candy thermometer. Pay close attention after 280°F as the temperature rises quickly.
- Quickly remove from heat and stir in 1 cup coarsely chopped almonds.
- Immediately pour the mixture into an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Let cool completely until firm. Then, carefully turn the candy out onto a sheet of waxed paper.
- **Chocolate Topping:** Melt 12 ounces of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave according to package instructions.
- Spread half of the melted chocolate evenly over the cooled candy.
- Sprinkle half of 1/2 cup finely chopped almonds over the chocolate.
- Cover with wax paper and invert the candy.
- Spread the remaining melted chocolate over the other side, and sprinkle with the remaining finely chopped almonds.
- If needed, chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Once firm, break the candy into pieces.
