                        Candy:
   2      c             Almond slivers
   1      c             Sugar
     1/3  c             Water -- or less
                        Topping:
  12      oz            Chocolate -- can use chips, but
                        - if they have a gray bloom,
                        - they might not melt

In a heavy sauce pan, boil almond slivers, sugar, and water over low
to medium heat until all the water is gone and the sugar crystallizes
on the peanuts.

Pour almond slivers out onto a well-greased baking sheet. Separate
clumps with a greased fork. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven about
15 minutes. Be careful not to burn.

Melt chocolate over low heat with constant stirring. When candied
almonds have cooled, dip into melted chocolate. Place on foil to
set.
