Steps:
- To make the butter crunch mixture, melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in almonds, and pour out into prepared pan, spreading the mixture with the back of a spoon to fill the pan. Before the butter crunch hardens, but when it is firm enough to handle, turn it out onto a large parchment-covered cutting board and peel away the foil. Allow the butter crunch to cool completely. To finish the butter crunch, wipe the top surface of the candy with a damp paper towel to remove excess butter and allow to dry a few minutes. Have another cutting board or the back of a jelly-roll pan ready to turn the candy over onto. Use a small offset metal icing spatula to spread half the tempered chocolate quickly over the butter crunch. Scatter half the chopped almonds over the chocolate. Cover this finished surface with a piece of parchment paper or foil and place another cutting board or the back of a large jelly-roll pan. Remove top board and paper and quickly spread with remaining tempered chocolate and scatter on remaining almonds (it isn't necessary to wipe the second side because it wasn't against a buttered surface). Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set chocolate. Break the butter crunch into 2-inch pieces. Store candy in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover and keep at a cool room temperature for up to a week.

ALMOND BUTTER CRUNCH CANDY
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.

BUTTER CRUNCH COOKIES
When I was a kid in school, they used to sell these cookies, and I'd always wonder how they made them taste so good...Now, as an adult, I have been experimenting, trying to come up with a recipe, since I couldn't find any online. I struck gold yesterday, and so, here is the recipe, which if I may say so myself, taste even better that the Linden's brand! Enjoy!!!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, powdered sugar and salt.
- In a small heavy bottom cast iron skillet, melt 1/4 C of butter, and 1/2 C sugar over very low heat, until it is bubbling and thick. Let this mixture cool for about a minute, (no more) and then pour it onto a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper to cool a few minutes more.
- When it is cool enough,(and still slightly pliable) break off small pieces using a sharp heavy knife, or maybe a clean screwdriver. It will be a lot of work, but you'll get a little muscle, and the reward of knowing that your cookies are going to be so good, you won't mind all of the work!
- Now, in a large mixing bowl, beat the remaining sugars with the remaining butter until it is light and fluffy. Add the egg, and mix again. Add the vanilla and the corn syrup, mixing until it is combined.
- Then, add the flour mixture, a little at a time, until it is completely incorporated. With a wooden spoon, add the cooled candy pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes, or freeze it for 15. When it is cold, roll out 1 1/2-inch balls of dough, and be careful, those pieces of toffee will probably be really sharp! Place the balls of dough 2 1/2-inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake for 9-11 minutes, making sure that they don't brown too much. They should be very light on top, and golden on the bottom.
- After two minutes, remove the cookies from the cookie sheet, and continue cooling on a wire cooling rack, about 7-8 more minutes, or until the toffee is set.

Steps:
- Butter a 9-inch square baking pan, and line the bottom with a piece of parchment paper that extends up and over two sides. Butter the parchment, and set the pan aside.
- Place the butter and water in a large saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat until the butter is melted. Add the sugar, and stir constantly until dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Using a pastry brush dipped in water, brush away any sugar crystals on the side of the pan to prevent recrystallization. Cook until the mixture is dark amber in color. Remove from heat, and stir in the pecans. Pour into the prepared baking pan, and let stand at room temperature to cool completely.
- Place the chocolate and corn syrup, if using, in a small heat-proof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until combined and completely melted. Let cool slightly, and spread over the top of the cooled toffee. Arrange the pecan halves on top, and let sit at room temperature until the chocolate has cooled completely and set, at least 2 hours or overnight. Carefully unmold by lifting out the parchment paper. Break or cut into pieces, and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 month.

Steps:
- Butter the sides of a 2 quart saucepan.
- Melt the butter.
- Add sugar, water and Karo syrup.
- Heat to 290 degrees using a candy thermometer.
- Watch carefully after it reaches 280 degrees (if the top if the toffee looks burnt it's okay).
- As soon as it reaches 290 pour into a greased pan.
- Let sit for 2 minutes.
- Sprinkle chips on top and let set for 3 minutes.
- Spread the chips out, freeze and cut or break into little pieces.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your butter crunch. Use real butter, high-quality chocolate, and fresh nuts for the best results.
- Cook the Sugar Mixture to the Right Temperature: The sugar mixture needs to be cooked to the right temperature in order to achieve the desired consistency. Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the mixture reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius).
- Stir the Mixture Constantly: While the sugar mixture is cooking, stir it constantly to prevent it from burning. This will also help to ensure that the mixture cooks evenly.
- Work Quickly: Once the sugar mixture is cooked, you need to work quickly to add the butter, chocolate, and nuts. The mixture will start to set quickly, so it's important to work fast.
- Let the Butter Crunch Cool Completely: Once the butter crunch is spread out on a baking sheet, let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help to prevent the chocolate from melting.
Conclusion:
Butter crunch is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and crunchy treat that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give butter crunch a try. You won't be disappointed!
