CHOCOLATE ALMOND TREATS

Category: Bars

1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups cocoa krispies
1 cup milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup sliced unblanched almonds

Heat oven to 350. Line an 8 inch square baking pan with foil, folding foil over edges of pan. Put butter in pan; melt in oven. Add brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla; stir to mix. Add cereal and stir with a spoon, then mix with fingers until thoroughly coated. Place waxed paper on top and press down gently but firmly. Bake 25 minutes until entire surface is bubbly.

Sprinkle with chocolate chips and let stand 5 minutes for chips to soften. Spread chips, and then sprinkle with almonds, pressing gently into chocolate. Let cool until just warm, then refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight before cutting. Using foil as a lifter, remove from pan and, without inverting (almonds will fall off), peel off foil. Cut into bars. Store in refrigerator.
