Almond Rocca Recipe

Ingredients : Almond Rocca Recipe
1 cup Pecans, chopped (we use chopped almonds on some batches)
3/4 cup Brown sugar, (packed)
1/2 cup Butter or margarine, (butter makes it richer)
1/2 package semisweet chocolate chips., (1/2 cup) (6 oz size)
Almond Rocca: This is not for Almond Roca, yet it is close enough and it
is real easy. In fact my 14 year old daughter has been making it by
herself at christmas for the past 4 years. Hope this will meet your
needs. It comes from the Betty Crocker cookbook, so you may have it on
hand already.
Toffee: Butter square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Spread chopped nuts in pan.
Heat sugar and butter to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil over medium
heat, stirring constantly, 7 minutes (watch it real close the last minute
or two). Immediately spread mixture evenly over nuts in pan. Sprinkle
chocolate pieces over hot mixture; place a baking sheet over pan so
contained heat will melt chocolate. Spread melted chocolate over canndy.
While hot, cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. chill until firm.
Now for the changes we use.
When we are going to be giving this as a gift, we melt another 1/2 cup of
chocolate in the microwave. Use an 7x7x2 pan (or smaller than the 9x9x2).
Spread the melted chocolate on top of the buttered pan that is covered
with the nuts. After the chocolate is spread on top, sprinkle more nuts
on top, while chocolate is still warm. Then cut into small sizes. After
the candy is set, remove from the pan and wrap individually with desert
foil. I get mine at the bakery supply, or a craft shop.
