Mine's better! Joy Of Cooking recipe:

3.5 cups sugar
1 qt 40% or better cream
2 sticks butter, unsalted
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
2tsp real vanilla extract
2tsp almond extract

Boil sugar, cream, butter and cream of tartar to 310F, keeping good
and hot towards the end of the cook, and stir gently at temp
approaches 310F to keep heat well distributed and keep from scorching.
Must cook HOT!!

Once temp hits 310F, toern off heat and add vanilla and almond and
stir in, then pour onto marble slab and before too cold score
hardening puddle into squares or bars. When cool break along scores
for nice square pieces, then dip in milk chocolate! Better than Heath
bars!! :-)
