BUTTERY ALMOND CRUNCH
Meet the Cook: This delectable candy is crisp but not as hard as peanut brittle. Some people say it reminds them of the toffee center of a well-known candy bar. Besides cooking, I enjoy gardening, sewing, needlework and family get-togethers. Husband Bob and I have six children, nine grandkids and three great-grandkids. -Mildred Clothier, Oregon, Illinois

ALMOND CRUNCH POUND CAKE
This is a dense, rich cake with a candy-like topping that is easy to make. It freezes really well so you can have a great dessert on hand. Wrap well and store at room temperature up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 month. Crisp it in the oven briefly at 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for that just-baked taste. Serve with whipped cream and raspberries.

ALMOND CRUNCH CAKE
This is probably my favorite cake, frosted with whipped cream and almond brittle. The recipe is from Flavors, a San Antonio Junior League cookbook, and is served at their Bright Shawl Tearoom. I think Old San Francisco Steak House used to serve a similar crunch cake. Making the cake is not difficult but takes some time. In a pinch, you could use an angel food cake and put together as directed.

ALMOND BUTTER CRUNCH CANDY
This is a yummy candy that I make each year to put in amongst (if that is a word) my cookies on the trays. It came from a Better Homes & Garden Candy Cookbook back in the '60s. It is one that is easy to make and comes out great every time. It is very tasty and has a great crunch if you are sure to bring it to the hard crack stage.
