I don't have pics of this because I haven't made any yet this year. It's not really a desert, but a buttery candy. It's also not just for the holidays.
Almond Toffee
2 cups real butter
2 cups sugar
2 cups sliced almonds
6 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp corn syrup
½ tsp vanilla
Chocolate chips for coating.
Melt butter, add sugar, blend in almonds, water, syrup and vanilla. Cook to 300 degrees.
Spread in buttered cookie sheet (large). When cooled, wipe top with paper towel to remove butter. Melt chocolate and spread over top. I sprinkle ground almonds over top of chocolate (whirled in food processor). Break in pieces. Just to add to the original recipe, after the chocolate cools, I turn it over and spread chocolate on the opposite side also. Then break into pieces.
