8 Squares (1 oz. each); semi-
-sweet baking chocolate
2 tb Butter
3/4 c Blanched whole almonds
2 tb Sugar
Store these chocolate-almond candies in a tightly covered box in a cool
place. Place each candy in a tiny fluted paper or foil cup to serve. This
is a delicious candy to offer guests after dinner.
In the top of a double boiler placed over gently boiling water, melt
chocolate. Stir in butter until melted. Keep chocolate mixture warm over
hot water.
Cut each almond lengthwise into several pieces. In a small skillet over
low heat, combine almonds and sugar; toast, stirring, until lightly
browned. Add to melted chocolate mixture. Remove from heat and drop
chocolate-almond mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let stand until
cooled and hardened.
