Working in two different batches, put the toasted almonds in a small food processor and pulse a couple of times so they?re in smaller pieces, but not powdered. Put the almonds in separate small bowls, and set aside.2. Melt butter in large, heavy, deep-sided saucepan over low heat. Add sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon until candy thermometer reads ?crack? stage (300 degrees). Quickly stir in 1 cup toasted slivered almonds, and spread on cookie sheet with a spatula.
