Directions:
In a medium-large, HEAVY saucepan, melt butter and sugar together.
Cook over medium to medium-low heat, stirring constantly and making sure to scrape the sides and corner, etc. until it reaches 288 on a candy thermometer. Add almonds when it reaches 250 or so. Immediately pour onto an ungreased baking sheet and spread to desired thickness (about 1/4 inch or so). Immediately sprinkle with chocolate chips, let melt, and spread. Then sprinkle with ground pecans. Let cool, score, break into pieces.
