Continuing from the last post, we also decided to make a holiday bark to add to our collection of cookies to give colleagues and friends. Turns out, everyone loved the goodies, and this will mostly likely be an annual tradition here on out!

1/4 cup sugar

Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place sugar in saucepan and make caramel out of it under low heat. Do not stir; wait for edges of sugar to turn brown. Swirl slightly. After about 20 minutes, after the sugar has turned brown, remove from heat. Add in the almonds, and the butter. Stir until well coated. Transfer to baking sheet. and break to form caramel coated almonds. Set aside nuts to top bark.
2. Stir chocolate in a bowl set over simmering water. Stir chocolate is completely melted.
3. Remove from heat and add in nut mixture. Spread chocolate nut mixture on the baking sheet. Top with the reserved nuts and sprinkle with salt.
