MIJA (ALMOND ROCKA)

2 cubes real butter (1/2)
1 cup blanched almonds
1 cup white sugar
1 Tablespoon water
1 Tablespoon white Karol syrup (or dark)

Topping:
Hershey bars or milk choc chips
Finely chopped almonds

Put first 5 ingredients in pan together, including nuts, and place on high flame and stir without stopping, until mixture becomes one shade darker than brown sugar. NOTE: Place a small dish of brown sugar near your work as candy browns rapidly. Approximately 10 min. cooking time. Use a long handled spoon.

Pour into a cookie sheet or cake pan 10X13 (not greased) and spread as thin as you can. Drop the chocolate over it. Allow to melt then spread with knife and sprinkle with finely chopped almonds. Cool and when it is set break into pieces.
