Easy recipe.

1/2 cup ground almonds

1 cup milk chocolate chips or dark

Cover a cookie sheet with foil..butter it..sprinkle with some of the almonds
In a heavy pan..add the buttter..melt..coat the sides with butter too. .
Add the sugar, water & corn syrup

Cook over medium heat..stirring often to 290 degrees. watch and stir..it can scorch easily..
When it hits 290 remone from heat and immediately pour onto the cookie sheet
Spread out with a buttered spatula
Let cool 2-3 minutes
Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top
Let sit another 2-3 minutes. .then spread evenly
Sprinkle rest of almonds over the top.

You can score it with a pizza wheel if you want
Cool..then chill in fridge 20 minutes or so..then break up..
You can substitute any nuts you like.

I think that is an excellent choice!!  When I get around to trying this recipe, I will use them since I just happen to have a stash of them in the pantry.
