homemade almond roca

this is the reason i literally gain at least eight pounds every holiday season!

ingredients

1 C butter
1 1/3 C sugar
1 T karo syrup
3 T water
1 C finely chopped almonds
18 oz your favorite chocolate, melted (i use milk for this one)

directions

cover a large surface that can get hot with wax paper and generously butter the wax paper.  in a heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over medium-high.  add sugar, syrup and water.  cook, stirring often until it reaches hard crack. 

pour onto the wax paper and let sit about 3 minutes.  spread half of the chocolate onto the toffee and sprinkle with half of the almonds.  gently flip toffee over and repeat on the other side.  let it completely cool, then crack into pieces and try not to get sick from eating too much of it!!
