LISA LAMB'S ALMOND TOFFEE

Elizabeth Lamb

1 cup soft butter
3 cups brown sugar
3 cups sliced almonds

Need a silpat for this recipe.  30-45 minutes prep

Melt butter in teflon pan; add brown sugar-enough to soak up most of the butter.  Need to stir.  Adjust heat so mixture remains at a slow bubble but not too hot or it will burn.  Stir and continue cooking until sugar is no longer crystal-like and mixture will freely run from the spoon and has started to become darker.  Add almonds and stir through.  I add about half the almonds, mix all the way then continue adding and mixing uintil most of the sugar mixture has covered almonds.  Remove from heat and drizzle over "silpat" (very  important)  Use a fork to spread. Let cool and break apart.

(Lisa serves this witih warm brie--very delicious)
