Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter (keep extra available)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup water
• 4 ounces milk chocolate
• sliced almonds (optional)

Recipe

• 1 rub the top of a microwavable mixing bowl with (extra) butter. place butter into bowl. pour sugar directly on butter. add salt and water.
• 2 cook approximately 7-8 minutes (sometimes i have seen some microwaves take up to 12 minutes). start watching at this point so as not to overcook. candy is done when it's the color of a heath bar or brown sugar.
• 3 pour mixture over sliced almonds on a buttered cookie sheet. don't scrape the bowl! cool!
• 4 top with melted chocolate (and more almonds if you wish) and let cool some more.
• 5 break into pieces and serve. (i use a regular table knife -- just be sure not to cut into your cookie sheet!) enjoy!
