Categories: Candies 
      Yield: 6 servings 
  
      2 c  (1 pound) butter 
      2 c  Sugar 
    1/2 c  Whole almonds 
      1 lg Package chocolate chips 
    1/2 c  Walnuts ground in a blender 
  
  Melt butter over high heat.  Add sugar, stirring until it foams up well. 
  Continue over high heat, adding almonds.  Continue to cook, stirring 
  continually until mixture is color of mahogany and sugar is all melted. 
  (Take it off the heat for a moment if it starts to smoke.) 
   
  Stir as you take it off the heat permanently and pour quickly onto your 
  biggest flat pan with sides.  Tilt to spread evenly.  After 5 minutes, pour 
  on chocolate chips. When they have melted a bit, spread them over the top 
  of the hot mixture with a rubber scraper. Scatter ground walnuts over the 
  top, shaking to distribute evenly. 
   
  Candy is thoroughly cooled when the chocolate is dull looking. (Cool at 
  least three hours at room temperature.) Break into pieces and it's ready to 
  eat.
