almond roca

another rainy/ dreary day in the middle of july this year, so i decided to experiment with making some candy. lindsay came over to help me and the almond roca turned out great.

recipe
14oz. hershey's milk chocolate bars
1lbs. whole unsalted almonds
4cubes of butter
2c sugar

no oven baking here. grind the chocolate bars and almonds in a cuisinart food processor. press half of the mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 glass pan. then melt the butter and sugar to a boil. stir until it turns to a dark color and the candy thermometer reads over 300degrees. test the candy in cold water. pour over the first layer of nuts. sprinkle the rest of the mixture, press wax paper over top and cool for 20minutes.

this recipe comes from our aunt romy. she taught us how to make it over christmas break this year, and it's truly the best almond roca ever. i'd venture to say better than brown&haley, but that's just my opinion.
