ALMOND BUTTER CRUNCH CANDY



Almond Butter Crunch Candy image

This is a yummy candy that I make each year to put in amongst (if that is a word) my cookies on the trays. It came from a Better Homes & Garden Candy Cookbook back in the '60s. It is one that is easy to make and comes out great every time. It is very tasty and has a great crunch if you are sure to bring it to the hard crack stage.

Tips:

- To make the butter almond crunch topping, use unsalted butter. If you use salted butter, omit the salt in the recipe. - Use a food processor to finely chop the almonds. This will help them distribute evenly in the topping. - If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the almonds by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely. - When measuring the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife. This will help you avoid using too much flour. - Be careful not to overmix the cookie dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. - Chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape. - Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly. - Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and become firm.

Conclusion:
