  2      c             Butter Or Regular Margarine
  2      c             Sugar
  2      tb            Light Corn Syrup; Karo

 Melt the butter in a heavy 10-inch skillet.  Add the
 sugar, corn syrup, water and 1 cup of almonds.  Cook
 over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the
 mixture boils. Continue to coo, stirring occasionally,
 until the mixture reaches the soft crack stage, (290
 degrees F on a candy thermometer).  Pour the mixture
 into a greased 17 X 14-inch baking sheet, (jelly roll
 pan).  Melt the chocolate chips with the shortening,
 over hot water, stirring until smooth. Spread on the
 toffee, which has been scored with a sharp knife in to
 bars. Sprinkle with 3/4 cup of toasted almonds. When
 the chocolate has set, break apart at the scores and
 store in a cool place in tins. Makes 3 lbs of candy.
There were alot fewer recipes left to go than I thought.  This is the last of
what you sent to me.  And, yeah, I'm still crazy enough to be willing to do
more. :)
