Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 c Butter Or Regular Margarine
2 c Sugar
2 tb Light Corn Syrup; Karo
6 tb Water
1 c Almonds; Blanched, Slivered
6 oz Chocolate Chips; Semi-sweet
2 tb Vegetable Shortening
3/4 c Almonds; Toasted, Sliced

Melt the butter in a heavy 10-inch skillet. Add the sugar, corn
syrup, water and 1 cup of almonds. Cook over medium heat, stirring
constantly, until the mixture boils. Continue to coo, stirring
occasionally, until the mixture reaches the soft crack stage, (290
degrees F on a candy thermometer). Pour the mixture into a greased

with the shortening, over hot water, stirring until smooth. Spread on

break apart at the scores and store in a cool place in tins. Makes 3
