This is a Christmas staple for my husband's family and I finally got the recipe and made it myself. It takes a lot of hard stirring, but it SO worth the work.
Melt together:
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 T. corn syrup
3 T. water
Stir together until bubbly, thick, light carmel colored and 300 degrees (with a candy thermometer). Immediately spread in a 13" sheet pan (I lined my pan with a Silpat and it worked really well). Top with melted chocolate, about 1/2 cup, and sprinkle wet chocolate with 1 cup finally chopped almonds. Break into snack sized pieces and then try to restrain yourself from eating all of it in one sitting.

The almond roca candies are the best ever, and Alysun is right, it can be a challenge not to eat half the batch before your husband gets home to eat some. Best idea: store in a freezer bag in the freezer and only take out to share with guests or for husband's lunch. :)
