Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 stick butter
2 c sugar
1 pkg milk chocolate chips ghirradeli or 12 oz. of any chocolate
2 c walnut pieces or almond pieces

Steps:

1. To get started grease or spray a pan. Using parchment paper you spray or butter it.
2. Pour butter into a heavy saucepan and add sugar.
3. When butter is melted the sugar starts to turn colors. From light tan to brown. When the toffee is brown your candy thermometer should read 290 degrees. Take off heat. The recipe says 300 degrees, but I have found that 300 degrees is to hot. It turns the toffee burnt and bitter.
4. Pour the toffee into the pan. It's very hot, so be very careful. Let cool.
5. When the chocolate is cooled add your dark or milk chocolate chips it melts faster. Your candy thermometer should read 88 degrees. Spread on top of toffee with a cake spatula. When the chocolate is still hot add your chopped pecans or walnuts.
6. This is a picture of the toffee when you are finished. If you want both sides with chocolate and nuts these are the steps. This is what they do with Almond Roco. Cut the toffee into squares when cooled. Dip both sides into melted chocolate and the nuts.
7. If you want it just like the photo double the toffee recipe. That pic has thick toffee in the center.

Tips:

Use a candy thermometer to ensure the toffee reaches the correct temperature. This will prevent it from becoming too hard or too soft.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test. Drop a small amount of toffee into a bowl of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it is ready.
Work quickly when pouring the toffee onto the almonds. It will start to set quickly, so you need to be able to spread it out evenly.
Be careful when cutting the toffee. It is very hard and can easily break your knife.
Store the toffee in an airtight container at room temperature. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Almond Roca toffee is a delicious and easy-to-make candy that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great gift idea. With a little bit of patience, you can create this classic candy in your own kitchen. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give Almond Roca toffee a try.
