Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a large half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Melt butter in a heavy saucepan. Stir in sugar, cream, and honey. Heat over medium heat and then cook at a rolling boil (full boil) for 90 seconds.
Remove from heat and gently stir in the sliced almonds.
Once cool enough to touch, scoop out a tablespoonful of the mixture and shape it into a 1-inch ball. Place them 4 inches apart on the prepared baking pan and use the back of a spoon to flatten them into 2-inch discs. (You should only fit about 6 on a baking sheet as they will spread a lot).
Bake for 11-14 minutes depending on your oven. They need to be dark golden brown or the candy will not set. If it hasn't been browned, cook for a few minutes longer but keep a close eye on them so they don't burn. Do not undercook.
Allow the cookies to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to the fridge until hard, about 30 minutes.
Melt the dark chocolate in a double broiler or microwave.
Use a spatula or knife to spread the melted on the smooth side (bottom) of the candy. You can also use a fork to make a wave-like pattern in the chocolate. Place face down back on the baking sheet (chocolate side up) to set.
