Guest guest Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 The easiest recipe: Line a 9x13 pan (like a jelly roll pan) with aluminum foil cover with a single layer of salted saltine crackers In a medium sized pot boil the following for 3 minute: 1 cup butter 1 cup packed brown sugar Pour over crackers and bake at 400 degrees for 6 minutes... Scatter 1 package milk or dark chocolate chips over top of hot crackers, spread if necessary as they melt... Sprinkle 1/2 c or so chopped nuts (almonds if you want almond roca) over melted chocolate. Allow to cool and break apart... Store in airtight container. Are these decadent enough for you??? :-))))) Shelley ritabohn2001 wrote: > > I don't seem to have enought sugar in my diet, so does anyone have a > good Almond Roca recipe?? _________ $0 Web Hosting with up to 120MB web space, 1000 MB Transfer 10 Personalized POP and Web E-mail Accounts, and much more.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Saltines, soda crackers --tomato, tomotos. LOL I'm just surprised about using them -- but why not. We moved to the mountains this summer and hi altitude baking and candy making has me puzzled. I have a hi alt. cook book and that has given me come help, but it is different. Thanks for the rx, I'll let you know how it turns out. Rita Shelley <sewnsew wrote: Rita Bohn wrote: > Saltines????? -- I'll give it a try.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 This is a great recipe. We call it " Pig out candy " because you just can't stop eating it. I have never had almond Roca but this recipe reminds me of Skor candy bars. It is an easy recipe and not at all time consuming.

Now, I gotta go back and tell her that I really appreciate her remembering those little things!) Anyway, I wanted an authentic-as-close-as-possible recipe and I think this one is it. I will splurge on excellent butter for this recipe and 12 oz of the best chocolate... ALMOND ROCA 1 lb. butter - no substitutes 1 c. sugar 1 c. brown sugar 6 oz. almonds, coarsely chopped 12 oz. chocolate chips Walnuts, very finely chopped Melt butter over medium heat. Add sugars to melted butter. Stir constantly until mixture reaches hard crack stage. Remove from heat. Immediately add almonds and pour into lipped buttered cookie sheet. Spread 6 ounce chocolate chips on top of mixture with spatula as they melt. Sprinkle with walnuts. Cool in refrigerator. Turn onto waxed paper. Melt remaining chips and pour on 2nd side of the almond roca. Sprinkle with remaining walnuts. When cooled break into chunks. credit given to Bothell (whomever that is) I really mush those finely ground walnuts into the chocolate and really use a lot, just like the real Almond Roca. Hope it turns out great! Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 Hi Shelly...thanks for the yummy 'Roca ' recipe. I made it yesterday and it's so easy. Don't know how much my hips will appreciate it though :-)) I hope that you and all in this group have a terrific holiday and for us in Australia I hope it's not too hot...last week it was 42.5C (107.6F) for several days and it certainly makes the idea of cooked Christmas dinners pretty unattractive.
