I make batches of these at Christmas to take to friends. Chopped hazelnuts or pecans would also work well.You'll need a 25 x 38 baking tray. They will keep for months in an airtight container.

Ingredients
- 200 g flaked almonds
- 170 g butter
- 3 tbsp water
- 180 g granulated sugar
- 50 g soft brown sugar
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g semi sweet chocolate chips (I used 54%)
Instructions
- Sprinkle 3/4 of the almonds on the bottom of the baking tray.
- In a heavy based saucepan, add butter, water, both sugars and salt. Gently melt and bring to 150C, this will take at least 10 minutes, keep an eye the whole time. As soon as it gets to temperature, remove from the heat, stir in bicarbonate of soda and vanilla extract. Quickly pour over the nuts. Use a spatula to spread into the corners.
- Sprinkle with chocolate chips, leave for 5 minutes to melt. Use the spatula again to spread chocolate. Finish with the remaining nuts and leave to set. After an hour or so before it's rock hard, cut into 35 squares. Store in an airtight container
