Ingredients List
- -----------------------------------CANDY-----------------------------------
- 2 c Almond slivers
- 1 c Sugar
- 1/3 c Water (or less)
Directions
TOPPING
12 oz Chocolate (can use
-chips, but if they
-have a gray bloom,
-they might not melt)
In a heavy sauce pan, boil almond slivers, sugar and water over low to
medium heat until all the water is gone and the sugar crystallizes on the
peanuts.
Pour almond slivers out onto a well-greased baking sheet. Separate clumps
with a greased fork. Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven about 15
minutes. Be careful not to burn.
Melt chocolate over low heat with constant stirring. When candied almonds
have cooled, dip into melted chocolate. Place on foil to set.
Her notes:
* These nuts which are "quick and easy" for holiday entertaining
were inspired by a presentation Shirley attended at a cooking schools
convention at the Ritz Carlton. They are basically the same recipe Paula
Murphy uses for candied peanuts; she uses raw, Spanish peanuts instead of
almonds, and she doesn't coat them with chocolate.
