Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup chopped almonds, finely chopped and toasted

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter completely.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, light corn syrup, and water to the melted butter. Stir continuously until the mixture is well-combined and starts to bubble.

Step 4

Insert a candy thermometer into the saucepan and cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage). This will take approximately 10–12 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the vanilla extract and toasted sliced almonds.

Step 6

Immediately pour the hot candy mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread it out evenly with a heatproof spatula to form a thin, uniform layer.

Step 7

Allow the candy to cool and harden slightly, about 5–7 minutes. While it is still warm, sprinkle the semisweet chocolate chips on top of the candy. Let the chocolate sit for 2–3 minutes to soften, then use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the finely chopped toasted almonds evenly over the melted chocolate. Press them gently into the chocolate to ensure they stick.

Step 9

Let the Almond Roca cool completely at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator for faster setting.

Step 10

Once the candy has fully hardened, break it into pieces of your desired size.

Step 11

Store the Almond Roca in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
