The Christmas season at our house officially starts with the first batch of toffee. This is our favorite treat to make and share. Even my kids love it, which is no small feat! This year we are using it as a fundraiser to help out in the Philippines in their typhoon recovery. We have sold far more than we expected...but when it's this good, everyone wants to help!

2 1/2 c sugar
1 c water
1 lb butter (salted)
4 T light corn syrup
1 (scant) cup almonds, rough chopped

11.5 oz bag high quality chocolate chips (I use Guittard or Ghirardelli)
1/3 cup almonds, chopped and toasted

In a large pot with a heavy bottom, add first 5 ingredients in order listed, over med-low heat. Once sugar is dissolved, turn heat to med-hi. Wash down sides of pot to make sure no sugar crystals remain...
