Easy Homemade Almond Roca

Total Time: 50 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients

• 1 lb real butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 6 tablespoons water
• 1 cup finely chopped almonds
• 1 (11 1/2 ounce) bag milk chocolate chips

Recipe

• 1 over medium heat, melt butter in a large pot.
• 2 add corn syrup, water and sugar to pot and cook until temp reaches 290 degrees or until the mixture becomes the color of a brown paper bag (about 15-20 minutes) stirring constantly with a wooden spoon (mixture will rise and bubble quite a bit).
• 3 remove from heat and stir in 1/2 of the almonds.
• 4 turn mixture onto a greased cookie sheet with edges!
• 5 while the mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate over low flame until all the chips are gone, and chocolate is smooth.
• 6 score the almond butter mixture into the shape you desire (i just scored into rectangle shapes).
• 7 pour the hot chocolate over the almond mixture and spread evenly.
• 8 sprinkle with remaining almonds and allow candy to cool completely and chocolate to harden before breaking apart and serving.
• 9 note: i let mine refrigerate over night after breaking the into squares, and they had a better texture this way, we thought.
