½ cup Water
1¼ cup Butter (2 1/2 sticks)
1½ cup Chopped blanched almonds, divided

Butter a 15x10" jelly roll pan; set aside. Combine sugar, salt, water and butter in a heavy 3-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling on medium-high heat. Add ¾ cup almonds and cook, stirring constantly, to hard crack stage (300-310 degrees). Remove from heat.
