Ingredients:  
1 lb. butter
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 cup light Karo Syrup
1 lb. (3 cups) whole roasted almonds
1 12 oz. bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Directions:
Spread raw almonds on 11x17 cookie sheet. Toast in 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. Chop in large pieces and set aside. Reserve 1/4 cup of the almonds and put into blender or nut grinder to pulverize until very fine. In heavy pan, (I use my 6 qt. pressure cooker) combine butter, sugar, water and syrup. Clip on a candy thermometer. Bring to a full boil while stirring constantly with a wooden spoon over medium heat. Cook until mixture comes to 280 degrees. (At sea level it needs to cook to 295 degrees or a little higher). When it reaches the right temperature, quickly add the almonds and stir well. Pour into 11x17 cookie sheet and spread to all the corners. Let cool 3 minutes. Wipe top gently with paper towel to absorb grease, then add chocolate chips. When they start to melt, spread with a fork and cover the toffee. Sprinkle finely ground almonds over the chocolate. Cool well. Break into small pieces.
