Hello you candy makers! I need help and lots of it!!! I am a complete failure at the almond roca. The butter separates on me before I get to the creamy carmelized stage. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for helping!

Made this last year with my mom, and it was great! I’m planning on trying it again tonight.

This truly is a “five-mitt” recipe. Not only that, but it gets another five mitts for the excellent instructions given. My candy came out superbly (my first time ever) and several people asked if I’d bought from a shop. Nope! Thanks for such a wonderful, ‘will go back again and again’ recipe.

I had never made almond roca before (actually, I’d never even heard of it), but had to try it after reading the blog. It turned out great and I had to make an extra batch just to let my friends taste it too.

Made this and is very good, although I did not cook the sugar mixture long enough. I was afraid of burning, so it’s more buttery than carmelly and a little soft. Didn’t keep me from eating WAY too much.

I didn’t use any extra chips but added sea salt on top of the chocolate. Used milk choc. chips and would go with semi-sweet next time. Flavour preference.

The directions were very specific, and helped a lot. This was the most delicious roca I’ve ever tasted! Be patient when stirring throught the various stages. I was afraid I had messed up because between the “cheesy stage” and the “runny caramel stage” it got very thick! I was afraid I had done something worng….but stir, stir stir, and it thinned out again and turned to beautiful runny caramel! Thx for a well executed recipe This will be a regular xmas favorite!

Mini chocolate chips melt quicker and make spreading easier. This was a wonderful recipe and my family enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
