I'm a huge fan of almond roca, so I was excited to try this recipe. I was a bit disappointed, however, because the almond roca turned out too hard. I think I might have cooked it for too long. Next time, I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of ti

This recipe was okay. It was easy to follow and the almond roca turned out alright. However, I found it to be a bit too sweet and not as flavorful as I would have liked.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my almond roca didn't turn out at all. It was too hard and didn't have a good flavor. I'm disappointed because I was really looking forward to trying this recipe.

This recipe was a disaster! The almond roca turned out hard as a rock. I had to throw it all away. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will not be trying this recipe again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The almond roca was a bit too sweet for my taste, and it wasn't as crispy as I would have liked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe is a keeper! The almond roca turned out perfectly. It was crispy and flavorful, and the chocolate coating added a nice touch. I will definitely be making this again.
