Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups almonds, coarsely chopped (divided)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup butter
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups white chocolate chips

Equipment

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Gather all your ingredients and equipment. Coarsely chop 1 cup of almonds, keeping the remaining ½ cup for topping.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the butter and sugar. Place it over medium heat and stir continuously until the mixture melts and begins to simmer, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once your toffee mixture has reached a deep golden color, remove it from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and the coarsely chopped almonds.
  4. Quickly pour the toffee mixture onto a lined baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Pour the white chocolate over the cooled toffee layer.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining chopped almonds over the melted white chocolate, pressing them down gently to adhere.
  7. Let the White Chocolate Almond Roca cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until set, then break it into pieces and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Freeze wrapped well in plastic wrap for up to three months.
  • Dark chocolate can be used instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.
