--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  1      MM            ---------------------------CANDY------
  2      c             Almond slivers
  1      c             Sugar
    1/3  c             Water (or less)
  1      MM            M--------------------------TOPPING----
 12      oz            Chocolate (can use
                       chips --  but if they
                       have a gray bloom
                       they might not melt)

 In a heavy sauce pan, boil almond slivers, sugar and water over low to
 medium heat until all the water is gone and the sugar crystallizes on
 the peanuts.

 Pour almond slivers out onto a well-greased baking sheet. Separate
 clumps with a greased fork.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven
 about 15 minutes.  Be careful not to burn.

 Melt chocolate over low heat with constant stirring.  When candied
 almonds have cooled, dip into melted chocolate.  Place on foil to set.
