CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCHIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 170°C.
• Melt butter, peanut butter and syrup in a small saucepan. Stir in the baking soda, then the vanilla essence and coffee and set aside.
• Mix dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and then stir in the butter mixture until well combined.
• Press into an oblong baking pan. You want them about 1cm thick, if your pan is too big don't worry, just finish off the edge neatly by pushing the mixture into a straight line (and leave an empty bit of pan), they won't change shape much.
• Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes. They'll be soft when you take them out of the oven but they'll crisp up on the outside as they cool.
• Cut them into squares when they are still ever so slightly warm to the touch, then take them out of the pan and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTER CRUNCH

Steps:

• To make the butter crunch mixture, melt the butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in sugar, corn syrup, and water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat, stir in almonds, and pour out into prepared pan, spreading the mixture with the back of a spoon to fill the pan. Before the butter crunch hardens, but when it is firm enough to handle, turn it out onto a large parchment-covered cutting board and peel away the foil. Allow the butter crunch to cool completely. To finish the butter crunch, wipe the top surface of the candy with a damp paper towel to remove excess butter and allow to dry a few minutes. Have another cutting board or the back of a jelly-roll pan ready to turn the candy over onto. Use a small offset metal icing spatula to spread half the tempered chocolate quickly over the butter crunch. Scatter half the chopped almonds over the chocolate. Cover this finished surface with a piece of parchment paper or foil and place another cutting board or the back of a large jelly-roll pan. Remove top board and paper and quickly spread with remaining tempered chocolate and scatter on remaining almonds (it isn't necessary to wipe the second side because it wasn't against a buttered surface). Refrigerate for 20 minutes to set chocolate. Break the butter crunch into 2-inch pieces. Store candy in a tin or plastic container with a tight-fitting cover and keep at a cool room temperature for up to a week.
