Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Almond Roca Treats.
Step 1
Start by lining a baking sheet with aluminum foil, creating a smooth surface for your delicious creation. This will make cleanup a breeze!
Step 2
Next, sprinkle half of the grated chocolate and half of the chopped almonds evenly over the prepared baking sheet. This will form a delightful base for your Almond Roca.
Step 3
In a stainless steel pan, combine the white sugar and butter. Melt them together over low heat, stirring gently. As the mixture begins to warm, increase the heat to medium while continuing to stir constantly. Keep an eye on it as it comes to a boil!
Step 4
You’ll want to heat the mixture until it reaches a temperature of 310 degrees F (155 degrees C). To check if it’s ready, drop a small amount of the syrup into cold water; it should form hard, brittle threads. This process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, so be patient!
Step 5
Once your butter-sugar mixture is ready, pour it over the chocolate and almonds on the baking sheet, ensuring an even distribution. This is where the magic happens!
Step 6
Now, sprinkle the remaining grated chocolate and chopped almonds over the top of the warm butter-sugar mixture. This will create a beautiful, crunchy topping.
Step 7
Allow your creation to cool to room temperature, then pop it in the refrigerator for about an hour until it’s fully set. This is the hardest part—waiting!
Step 8
Finally, break the Almond Roca into pieces and enjoy the sweet, crunchy goodness. Perfect for sharing or keeping all to yourself!
