Chocolate Almond Bars (I call them breakfast bars)

This is a recipe that I got from a friend in America - it's sweet, chewy, with a bit of a crunch and very morish!
This is like an entire breakfast for me - you've got your cereal, dairy (milk chocolate) and protien (Nuts).

1 Stick (1/2 cup/110g) butter or margarine
1 Cup packed light-brown sugar
2 Tbsp light corn syrup (alternatively golden syrup)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 Cups (Kellogg's or no name brand) coco puffs/Krispies
1 Cup milk chocolate chips (can add more than a cup)
1 Cup Sliced or slivered unblanched almonds

Method
Heat oven to 350 F (180 deg C)  Line a 8-in/20cm square cake pan with heavy duty foil, folding foil over edges of pan.
Put butter in pan, melt in oven.  Add brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla, stir to mix.
Add cereal and stir with a spoon, then mix with fingers until thoroughly coated/mix with spatula if like me you don’t like getting your hands dirty.
Place waxed paper on top and press down gently but firmly.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes until entire surface is bubbly. Remove from oven.
Sprinkle with chocolate chips and let stand 5 minutes for chips to soften.
Spread chocolate chips, then sprinkle with almonds, pressing gently into chocolate.  Let cool , then refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight before cutting.
Using foil as a lifter, remove from pan and, without inverting (almonds would fall off) peel off foil.  Cut into bars. Or cut and then remove from foil.  Store in refrigerator.
Makes 24 depending on size you've cut.
