An oldie from my recipe box that was collected by my grandmother. This one looks like it would be similar to making a homemade version of the Crunchie™ chocolate bars, but with a little almond bark twist!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup dark corn syrup
  • 1 Tbsp vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp baking soda
  • 1 lb chocolate almond bark* ((melted))

Method

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissoved.
  2. Cook without stirring until the temperature reaches 300° F (hard-crack stage) on a candy thermometer. Do not overcook.
  3. Remove from heat and quickly stir in baking soda.
  4. Pour into a buttered 13 x 9" baking pan. Do not spread; mixture will not fill pan.
  5. When cooled, break candy into  bite-sized pieces.
  6. Dip into melted chocolate.
  7. Place on wax paper lined sheet until chocolate is firm.
  8. Store tightly covered.

Recipe Notes

*I think you could safely substitute one pound (2 cups) of melted chocolate chips and add in about 1/3 cup crushed/broken almonds which have been toasted in the oven for ten minutes. (Ta da! Instant subsititute almond bark.)
