How to Make Almond Buttercrunch Candy

  1. Preheat oven to 93°C (200°F).
  2. Grease a 14 x 18 inch baking sheet.
  3. Sprinkle one (12-ounce) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Place in the warm oven until the chips are melted (approximately 5-7 minutes).
  4. Remove from oven and spread the melted chocolate evenly across the bottom of the pan using a spatula.
  5. Set aside.
  6. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar.
  7. Stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula, cook until the mixture reaches 300-310°F (149-154°C) on a candy thermometer, or until a small amount of syrup dropped into a glass of ice water forms hard, brittle threads. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes.
  8. Immediately remove from heat.
  9. Stir in ¾ cup slivered almonds.
  10. Pour the almond mixture evenly over the melted chocolate layer in the prepared pan.
  11. Spread the mixture evenly using a spatula.
  12. Sprinkle the remaining (12-ounce) package of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the almond layer. Return to the warm oven for 2-3 minutes, or until melted.
  13. Spread the melted chocolate evenly using a spatula.
  14. Sprinkle remaining ¾ cup slivered almonds over the top.
  15. Let the candy cool completely at room temperature. Once firm (about 1-2 hours), cut into squares or break into irregular pieces.
  16. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
