Chop almonds fine, and toast in a slow oven until rich brown. Melt butter in large heavy saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and stir until dissolved.

When cool, spread top of brittle with thin coating of chocolate and sprinkle with 1/2 remaining almonds. Then when chocolate is firm, turn brittle on other side and repeat. When hard, crack into pieces.
