Almond Butter Crunch

Source of Recipe

From "Some Day You'll Thank Me for This" by Gayden Metcalfe


Recipe Introduction

"Mae Jones, who works at the Greenville Compress, gives this as a Christmas present to the lucky directors. It's devilishly delicious."

List of Ingredients

◦ 1 cup sliced almonds
◦ ˝ cup real butter
◦ ˝ cup sugar
◦ 1 tablespoon Karo Light Corn Syrup


Recipe

Butter a pizza pan and set it aside. Combine the above ingredients in a heavy saucepan.

Cook over medium-high heat to boil. Boil for five or six minutes. Stir *constantly* until it turns a caramel color (be careful—this will scorch in a split second).

Quickly pour into the prepared pan and spread out thinly with the back of a spoon. When hardened, wipe excess batter off with a paper towel. Break into pieces and eat just one!
