Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup Almonds, finely chopped
• 0 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt.

Step 3

Stir the mixture constantly as it melts and begins to combine. Once it begins to bubble, attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan.

Step 4

Continue stirring while cooking the mixture until it reaches 300°F (hard-crack stage), approximately 10 minutes. Be cautious as it will be very hot.

Step 5

Once the toffee reaches 300°F, remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 6

Pour the hot toffee into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly with a heatproof spatula.

Step 7

Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the hot toffee. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to melt, then use a spatula to spread the chocolate into a smooth layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the finely chopped almonds over the melted chocolate, pressing them gently to adhere.

Step 9

Allow the roca bar to cool completely at room temperature for about 2-3 hours, or place it in the refrigerator for quicker setting.

Step 10

Once fully set, lift the foil out of the baking dish and peel it away. Use a sharp knife or your hands to break the chocolate almond roca into bars or bite-sized pieces.

Step 11

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