Steps:
- Melt butter in a heavy 4 quart saucepan. Add sugar syrup and water.
- Cook mixture, stirring often to hard crack stage (300F on a candy thermometer and medium golden brown)
- Watch carefully after syrup reaches 230F - do not over cook - it will scorch! - do not under cook - it will not be brittle. Test in cold water - it will be of brittle texture.
- Quickly stir in the sliced toasted almonds. Turn out on large ungreased cookie sheet or jelly roll pan.
- Melt chocolate in double boiler over hot water.
- After candy sets, spread with melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle finely chopped almonds over soft chocolate.
- Chill entire candy; then break into sizable pieces.
