I followed the recipe exactly, but my almond rocas didn't turn out right. They were too crumbly and didn't hold together well.

These almond rocas were a bit too hard for my liking. I think I would have preferred them if they were a little softer.

I was disappointed with these almond rocas. They were too sweet for my taste and the chocolate was not very flavorful.
