Homemade Almond Roca
Report
English toffee is absolutely scrumptious. They're crunchy, chocolatey, and taste just like the original pink canister ones you've loved since childhood. Perfect for gift-giving or holiday party trays.

Ingredients
- 2 cups light brown sugar packed
- 2 cups salted butter
- 1 ½ cups roasted and salted almonds coarsely chopped
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- Candy thermometer
Instructions
- Stir: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, add brown sugar and salted butter. Stir often for 3-4 minutes, or until mixture is bubbly and thick and candy thermometer registers 280ºF.
- Combine and Pour: Immediately remove from heat once thermometer hits 290F. Add 3/4 cup almonds to the mixture and stir to combine well. Pour evenly into a rimmed 18x13 baking sheet, using the back of a wooden spoon to smooth evenly into the pan. Work quickly here, as mixture thickens and sets quickly.
- Melt and Layer: While toffee cools, set a heavy pot over low heat. Add chocolate and oil, stirring until just barley melted through. Use a rubber spatula to transfer melted chocolate evenly on top of toffee layer, taking care to smooth the surface. Sprinkle remaining chopped almonds evenly over the warm chocolate layer.
- Chill and Cut: Chill in fridge for a couple of hours to cool completely. Once fully set, carefully cut the toffee into pieces with a sharp knife. Homemade Almond Roca keep well in airtight container for a couple of weeks at room temp.

Notes
- Homemade Almond Roca can be kept airtight at moderate room temp for several weeks, as they keep very well. They can also be frozen for a longer period of time and defrosted at room temp for holiday (any day) treat emergencies :)
