Chocolate Almond Bark

Ingredients

• One 11 1/2-ounce package (2 cups) Nestlé Milk Chocolate Morsels
• 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped toasted almonds, divided

Steps

1. Combine over hot (not boiling) water Nestlé Milk Chocolate Morsels and vegetable shortening. Heat until morsels are melted and mixture is smooth.
2. Remove from heat and stir in raisins and half the almonds.
3. Spread into waxed paper-lined 13x9x2-inch baking pan (make waxed paper long enough so candy can be easily lifted out of the pan).
4. Sprinkle remaining almonds on top.
5. Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes.
6. Before serving, break into bite-size pieces.

Notes

Makes 1 lb. candy.

Microwave hint: to melt, put morsels in a 4-cup glass measuring cup; microwave on high 2 minutes, stir, microwave on high 1 minute longer; stir until smooth. Makes 1 cup melted chocolate.
