Meet the Cook: This delectable candy is crisp but not as hard as peanut brittle. Some people say it reminds them of the toffee center of a well-known candy bar. Besides cooking, I enjoy gardening, sewing, needlework and family get-togethers. Husband Bob and I have six children, nine grandkids and three great-grandkids. -Mildred Clothier, Oregon, Illinois Ingredients:
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup butter, softened, divided |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon light corn syrup |
1 cup sliced almonds |
Directions:
1. Line an 8-in. square pan with foil; butter the foil with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Set aside.
2. Spread the sides of a heavy saucepan with 1/2 tablespoon butter. Add 1/2 cup of butter, sugar and corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until mixture is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in almonds. Quickly pour into prepared pan.
