Christmas toffee

1/2 cup slivered almonds 1 cup butter 1 1/4 cup sugar 5 Tblsp. water 2 0r 3 Hershey Bars 1/4 to 1/2 cup walnuts, very finely chopped Melt butter. Add sugar and water; boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add almonds; boil until it's a real rich caramel color. (You want it nice and rich and kind of dark to give it the right flavor, just be careful not to burn it). Again, stir constantly. Pour into foil lined pan. When set, place Hershey bars on top to melt; spread. Then cover with chopped walnuts. Press nuts firmly into chocolate with spoon. Cool. Store covered in refrigerator to keep chocolate from melting, or just put in a cool place. If you put it in the refrigerator take out an hour or so before eating so it's not too hard.
