If it's ease you're after, you've come to the right recipe. This candy delivers superb taste with just butter, sugar, syrup and almonds and three simple steps.
1. Line bottom and sides of a 9-inch round baking pan (do not use a glass baking dish) with foil. Butter the foil heavily. Set pan aside.
2. In a 10-inch skillet combine almonds, butter, sugar and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat until sugar is melted and mixture turns golden brown, stirring constantly (about 10 minutes).
3. Quickly spread mixture in the prepared pan. Cool about 15 minutes or until firm. Remove candy by lifting edges of foil. Peel off foil. Cool. Break candy into pieces. Store in a tightly covered container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week. Makes 3/4 pound candy (20 servings).
To present this as a gift: You will need a colored metal pail and colored rubber bands.
To make stripes on the pail, place several rubber bands around the pail. You can group the rubber bands or put them on randomly. To make the bow, wrap a rubber band around 6 to 8 bands. Attach the rubber band bow to the handle of the pail.
Also try this: Use colored strings to decorate the pail, knotting the ends as needed.
