Holiday Almond Roca
2c chopped almonds, 7 oz hershey bar, 1 lb butter, 2c sugar, Chop Chocolate and Almonds and spread half of the mixture on a cookie sheet. In a large Pyrex Glass Bowl (5 qt.) put 2 cups of sugar and 4 sticks (1lb. of butter). Put in Mircrowave on high for 3 mins. take out stir. Put back in Microwave and cook another 3 minutes. Take out (with oven mitts) and with a wired whisk “whisk” 2-3 minutes until homogenized (which means whisk until the butter and sugar is incorporated and looks thick and creamy). Put back in Microwave for 6 1/2 minutes. Take out and pour over the chocolate/almond mixture on the cookie sheet. Spread out the sugar/butter mixture with a spatula, top with remaining chocolate/almond mixture. Gently pat down and put in the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Cut into pieces and enjoy. **If you have an older Microwave you might want to cook around 7 to 71/2 minutes.

omg! i love almond roca!!!!!
i forgot this, and an Xcookage recipe BOOK for your hit recipe compilation.
Think about it, you can do it!!
Hi Greetings from UAE! i wish you had a website posting your recipes that would really be nice for easy referal.
You are awesome. no one should tell you any different
thanx it looks great i tried it but i dont know it just doesent really turn out like u showed in the video. It tasted great but i think i burned mine can i cook it on the stove instead of the micro
Im trying this :D
Ahhh, thank you. I’m planning on making it again this weekend, so hopefully it will turn out (:
@RachelB263 the 1st time I made it it seperated on me as well. What I did the next time was mix it longer which I think is what went wrong the 1st time
Well, it didn’t really come out too great, haha.
It separated :(
But I just drained off the butter and it hardened and tasted like toffee..soo…
It was very yummy (:
I cooked it 10-ish minutes.. I believe..?
I think it separated because I started using a spoon after a while instead of a whisk or because I might’ve overcooked it.
Either way, it was delicious and I’m definitely going to try it again.
How did it come out? Also, how long did you have to cook it?
I don’t have a large glass bowl, so I’m making this on the stove tonight. Wish me luckkkk (:
I made this, and my entire family loves it!
I just finished making this and I didn’t have salted butter so I used unsalted butter .Usually if you want unsalted butter to be salted, the rule of thumb is to add 1/4 teaspoon of salt for every stick of butter. So I added salt myself and it turned out perfect! The toffee tastes like the Skor chocolate bars but better! This was very quick and easy to follow, thank you xcookage for such a lovely recipe. Happy holidays and I hope this helps some people out!
thats a heatattack and a half if i ever saw one, im sure its delicous though
Oh yes yes it was amazing :) Made for my colleagues here in France and they just loved it :)) Thank you :)
I found out about you from Gbonita,a makeup guru-in highschool. I hate cooking bec. you have to stand up,and its hard for me to stand for very long right now.
mhhey looking for nice guys to chat i have a web cam too
I’m so sorry. I hope it still came out okay.
I think that is a great idea. Sort of like Pepermint Bark. Thanks for sharing.
oh man, microwave recipe for almond roca?! heck yes, i’m in!
yummm :]]]]]]
This is my new favorite recipe. I love Heath Bars and this taste so much like them. Thanks so much for this great recipe.
‘its not low on calories’ ;)
it looks absolutely fantastic though!!!
great ideas for christmas, thanks.
I made this yesterday. Fantastic! My kids don’t like nuts, so I made a second batch and added some candy cane Hershey’s kisses to the chocolate and chopped candy canes really fine instead of the almonds. I added two crushed candy canes to the butter sugar mix (I was out of peppermint extract) and a couple of drops of red food coloring. The toffee turned a pretty peppermint pink. Completely different, but really great and festive looking! I love your recipes.
my old second grade teacher used to make this. it was delicious. she was the best teacher i ever had. i hope shes happy in heaven, baking up what she wants
FYI for those of you who don’t have an enormous microwave ( like me ) use your stove top. I just made this in my microwave and it’s a huge sticky mess in my kitchen. But so far, its looking really good !
