Description:
This 4-ingredient Almond Roca recipe is made with chocolate, roasted almonds and a buttery homemade toffee! It’s perfect for snacking and holiday gifting.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup (roasted and salted) finely chopped almonds, divided
- 6 ounces milk chocolate (chips or Hershey’s bars)
Instructions
- Line a 9×9 baking dish with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a heavy saucepan, melt the sugar and butter together on medium heat. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil. Continue boiling and stirring until it reaches 290°F on a candy thermometer, about 12 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and immediately stir in 1/2-cup of the almonds.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. If you notice there is too much butter pooling, use a paper towel to blot it up.
- Sprinkle the chocolate evenly on top and allow it to sit for 1 minute to melt. Using an off-set spatula, spread the chocolate evenly on top of the candy.
- Sprinkle the remaining almonds onto the melted chocolate.
- Cool completely and then break into pieces. Alternatively, you can place it in the refrigerator to chill more quickly.
Notes:
You can use any nuts in place of almonds if you prefer. Cashews work great!
Shortcut: You can use slivered or sliced almonds instead of chopping them yourself.
