Easy Almond Roca Toffee Food

EASY ALMOND ROCA TOFFEE

Steps:

• Line a cookie sheet with foil and spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place almonds in a single layer on cookie sheet.
• Cook butter, sugar, water, vanilla and salt in a heavy saucepan over high heat, stirring mixture constantly, 15-18 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 310°F.
• Remove from heat and immediately pour over almonds (do not scrape the pan).
• Sprinkle immediately with chocolate morsels and spread evenly to 1/2 inch from sides.
• Sprinkle with ground walnuts.
• Let stand until firm.
• Break into small pieces and store in an airtight container.
• (The toffee mixture will not coat the entire baking sheet).

ALMOND ROCA (ENGLISH TOFFEE)

Steps:

• Spread almonds evenly on a buttered 12 x 17-inch jelly roll pan. (I used a Silpat sheet and only buttered sides and that worked great).
• Mix sugar, butter and water in a large saucepan. Cook over high heat until tan (295°F at sea level). It needs to be past the point where the mixture begins to turn tan. It will be a foamy, thick, medium tan. Be sure to stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
• Pour over sliced almonds and spread as much as possible.
• Sprinkle chocolate pieces over immediately. Let melt a minute or two and then spread evenly with knife.
• When completely cool and chocolate is solid, break into pieces.

ALMOND ROCA

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Sprinkle 1/2 the chocolate and 1/2 the almonds onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Melt sugar and butter together in a stainless steel pan over low heat; increase heat to medium, stirring constantly, until boiling. Heat mixture to 310 degrees F (155 degrees C) or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Pour butter-sugar mixture over chocolate and almonds on baking sheet. Sprinkle remaining chocolate and almonds over butter-sugar mixture. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Break into pieces.

ALMOND ROCA

Steps:

• In a large heavy saucepan, gently boil syrup, sugar, butter and water until"hard crack"; appears on a candy thermometer, 300F (150C).
• Do not stir.
• This step takes at least 20 minutes.
• Remove from heat, add almonds and stir well.
• Spread on an ungreased cookie sheet and, before candy is allowed to cool, sprinkle with chocolate chips.
• As they melt, spread the chocolate chips evenly over the candy.
• Cool in the refrigerator or freezer.
• Break into bite size pieces.

EASY HOMEMADE ALMOND ROCA

Steps:

• Over Medium heat, melt butter in a large pot.
• 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).
• Remove from heat and Stir in 1/2 of the Almonds.
• Turn mixture onto a greased cookie sheet WITH EDGES!
• While the mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate over low flame until all the chips are gone, and chocolate is smooth.
• Score the Almond butter mixture into the shape you desire (I just scored into rectangle shapes).
• Pour the hot chocolate over the almond mixture and spread evenly.
• Sprinkle with remaining almonds and allow candy to cool completely and chocolate to harden before breaking apart and serving.
• Note: I let mine refrigerate over night after breaking the into squares, and they had a better texture this way, we thought.
