I try to make this only at Christmas because it is so sinfully delicious.

1 c. butter
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. water
1 (11 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Slivered almonds (optional)

In a heavy saucepan, heat butter, corn syrup, sugar and water, stirring constantly until mixture boils. Boil to 300 degrees and remove from heat. Add almonds.

Pour into foiled lined 15 x 10 x 1 inch pan. Sprinkle morsels over brittle while still hot. Allow to stand until morsels become shiny and spread with spatula. Let cool and refrigerate one hour. Break into bite-size pieces.
