Cover pan with foil and spread half cup walnuts and half cup shredded chocolate bar. In a heavy sauce pan boil together butter, sugar, and almonds over medium heat until it reaches 315 degrees F, stirring constantly or it will burn. Pour mixture over chocolate and walnuts, then put the remaining chocolate and walnuts over the top. Allow to cool and break into pieces when set.
