This is a delicious recipe for almond roca. My boyfriend's family loved this last Christmas, but I didn't want to tell them the recipe because it's so easy. Cook time does not include cooling time. Ingredients:
1 lb butter |
2 cups sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vanilla |
12 ounces chocolate chips |
1 -2 cup slivered almonds or 1 -2 cup sliced almonds |
Directions:
1. Line a large cookie sheet (or two smaller) with aluminum foil, or lay aluminum foil over a large area on the counter or table.
2. Cook butter, sugar and vanilla in a saucepan to hard crack stage (285-290F), while stirring constantly.
3. Once heated, pour onto the aluminum foil lined surface.
4. Spread out to about 1/4-inch thickness.
5. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, let sit until beginning to melt, then spread chocolate out.
6. Sprinkle the top with almonds.
7. Let cool for 2 hours, then break into pieces.
