non-stick cooking spray
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon whipped cream
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
3/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup rolled oats

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly coat the paper with a nonstick vegetable spray. Combine the butter, sugar, whipping cream, and corn syrup in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium and add the almonds and oats blend well. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Using a metal spatula, spread the almond mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and form into an 8- by 6-inch rectangle (it does not have to be exact). Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until the almond mixture begins to spread and turns brown. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place it on a cooling rack. When cool, place another baking sheet over the baked almond triangle, and invert the baking sheet. Cut into triangles (or break into irregular shapes). Store the almond triangles in an airtight container for two to three days.
