Prepare a baking sheet by buttering the bottom and sides

3/4 cup chopped almonds
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

mix all ingredients in a deep frying pan and cook on med-high heat (electric works well).
bring to a boil, cook for 1 min covered
cook uncovered stirring for 7 min or until it turns a caramel color and starts to smoke (about 300 degrees)
pour onto prepared cookie sheet, wait 3 min
sprinkle on 3/4 cup chocolate chips and wait 3 min.
