"If you like the rich taste of toffee and chocolate, you'll love this. The only changes I made were that I used butter instead of margarine and I cooked it to 290-300 degrees instead of 270 degrees. ..." See moreI roasted my own almonds because I like a deeper flavor. If you have a candy thermometer this is a very easy recipe."

I used butter, though - margarine is a bad idea for this recipe - it won't set up correctly and i..." See moret will taste weird. I've made many diifferent batches of almond buttercrunch candy and this is the one I've had the best success with. It was perfect and delicious (btw, I did cook it to 300 and it came out the perfect consistency)."
