   1      MM            ---------------------------CANDY------
   2      c             Almond slivers
   1      c             Sugar
     1/3  c             Water (or less)
   1      MM            M--------------------------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 degree 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.
