40 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | Squares (1 ounce each) semisweet baking chocolate | |
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter |
| ¾ | cup | Blanched whole almonds |
| 2 | tablespoons | Sugar |
Directions
Store these chocolate-almond candies in a tightly covered box in a cool place. Place each candy in a tiny fluted paper or foil cup to serve. This is a delicious candy to offer guests after dinner.
In the top of a double boiler placed over gently boiling water, melt chocolate. Stir in butter until melted. Keep chocolate mixture warm over hot water. Cut each almond lengthwise into several pieces. In a small skillet over low heat, combine almonds and sugar; toast, stirring, until lightly browned. Add to melted chocolate mixture.
Remove from heat and drop chocolate-almond mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand until cooled and hardened.
Makes about 40 candies.
