    I use my recipe from my Grandma. I grind up the nuts in a blender and grind up 2 giant Hershey bars. First get your 13x 9 pan out spoon half of the nuts (thin) layer and then half of the ground choc bars on top of the nuts. When your toffee is ready pour it in the pan over the nuts and choc. Then immediately put the rest of the choc (first) and the rest of the nuts. I use a spoon to sprinkle it all over. The toffee being so hot will melt it right away. Let it set until cool. I use a butter knife to just break into rugged pieces. No mess with this method. Then put into containers. Put into fridge until ready to serve or give out as gifts.

      This sound like a great idea. I will give it a try next time I make it and if it works easy I might put it on the channel if that's ok with you. Have a great Christmas and happy new year. God bless

    Handling each piece seems tedious and too time consuming though, couldn’t you melt chocolate in a larger surface pan in micro then turn the toffee into chocolate and turn over the mass of toffee then proceed to pkg

    • @cookingonthefarm
      @cookingonthefarm  Рік тому +5

      I mentioned putting the chocolate chips on top. When it was still hot and then cutting it from there. I think anyway is good as long as it works for you and your family. This was just fun to do with a friend. Thank you so much for watching. God bless

    Basically all your making is like a Hershey chocolate bar with almonds or nut of your choice.

    • @cookingonthefarm
      @cookingonthefarm  Місяць тому

      So, a Hershey Chocolate bar is just that chocolate and nut. Almond Roca is a toffee, caramel flavored crisp, that is dipped in chocolate then in nuts. I hope you try my Roca recipe and enjoy it.
