How to Make Almond Roca
Tips for Success
Don’t Increase Heat: Be careful not to adjust the heat up while making your toffee. This will cause the butter and sugar to separate, which can cause pools of excess butter on the finished toffee, preventing the chocolate from adhering. Add Baking Soda if Needed: If the butter and sugar still separate, add in a pinch of baking soda when you take your toffee off the heat and stir to combine. This will help make it cohesive. Blot Away Excess Butter: You can also soak up any excess butter with a paper towel if you notice it pooling before you add the chocolate, which is what I do most often. Chill in the Fridge: If you’re impatient like I am, let your almond roca cool in the fridge so it’s ready sooner!
How to Store Homemade Candy
Store your almond roca in an airtight conatiner at room temperature. It will stay good for up to 2 weeks! If desired, you can wrap your candy pieces in parchment paper and freeze them in a sealed container to make them last longer. Thaw them out in the fridge or at room temperature and enjoy within 6 months.
How to Pack Candy for Shipping
If you want to ship your homemade candy to a loved one, pack it into a sturdy container. It can be a mason jar, a cookie tin or a plastic case. This will prevent your almond roca from getting too crushed up in transit. PIN for later:
