DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Grease
a 14 x 18 inch cookie sheet.
Sprinkle one package of chocolate chips on prepared
pan. Place in warm oven until chips melt, about 5 minutes.
Remove from oven, and spread melted chocolate over
bottom of pan; set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine
butter and brown sugar. Stirring constantly, heat to
300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until
a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms
hard, brittle threads. Immediately remove from heat.
Stir in 3/4 cup slivered almonds and pour onto pan
with melted chocolate; spread mixture evenly.
Sprinkle remaining package of chocolate chips over
the almond layer. The heat from the almond layer will
melt the chocolate chips; spread melted chocolate evenly.
Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup almonds over chocolate.
Cut into squares, or allow to harden in a solid sheet
and break it apart like brittle. Cool completely before
removing from pan.
