1 ½ cups coarsely chopped toasted natural almonds

In a small saucepan, bring sugar and butter to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and cook at a rapid simmer, swirling pan occasionally, until mixture is syrupy, about 2 minutes.
Immediately pour over graham crackers. Bake until sugar topping is bubbling, 12 minutes.
Remove from oven and and immediately sprinkle chocolate and salt over graham crackers.
With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut into 2" squares.
