Method for making Almond Roca
|
|
Spread almonds evenly on a buttered 12 x 17-inch jelly roll pan. Mix sugar, butter and water in a large saucepan. Cook over high heat until tan (290°F at sea level). It needs to be past the point where the mixture begins to turn tan. It will be a foamy, thick, medium tan. Be sure to stir constantly with a wooden spoon. Pour over sliced almonds and spread as much as possible. Sprinkle chocolate pieces over immediately. Let melt a minute or two and then spread evenly with knife. When completly cool and chocolate is solid, break into pieces.
