      Title: RITZY CHOCOLATE-COVERED NUTS
 Categories: Candies, Holiday, Shirley
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
MMMMM---------------------------CANDY--------------------------------
      2 c  Almond slivers
      1 c  Sugar
    1/3 c  Water (or less)

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
     12 oz Chocolate (can use
           -chips, but if they
           -have a gray bloom,
           -they might not melt)
 
  In a heavy sauce pan, boil almond slivers, sugar and water over low to
  medium heat until all the water is gone and the sugar crystallizes on
  the peanuts.
  
  Pour almond slivers out onto a well-greased baking sheet. Separate
  clumps with a greased fork.  Bake in a preheated 350 degree F. oven
  about 15 minutes.  Be careful not to burn.
  
  Melt chocolate over low heat with constant stirring. When candied
  almonds have cooled, dip into melted chocolate. Place on foil to set.
  
  Her notes:
  
  *  These nuts -- which are "quick and easy" for holiday entertaining
  ~- were inspired by a presentation Shirley attended at a cooking
  schools convention at the Ritz Carlton.  They are basically the same
  recipe Paula Murphy uses for candied peanuts; she uses raw, Spanish
  peanuts instead of almonds, and she doesn't coat them with chocolate.
