Help! I’ve been making almond roca all my life in WA state. I moved to MT and have not had success. The butter separates every time around 250 degrees. I figure it has something g to do with elevation. I’m at about 3966 ft and your video is the first to say anything about elevation. Even so, I can’t get it anywhere near 293 degrees before separating.

[@catscratchkitchen]

At higher elevations you really have to go super slow. If the heat is a little too high, it will separate.. Takes me a looong time of stirring until I get to temp

[@marianneporter26]

@ Unfortunately, I’m on the lowest setting already. I’ve even tried different pots. It’s so sad because it gets so close to temp before it turns bad. I stir constantly. Guess I just have to move on…

I tried this recipe it didn't work for me either. I switched to equal parts. 1 cup butter and 1 cup sugar. I was trying to make a big cooking sheet so i used 2 cups butter 2 cups sugar. Try it may be easier. I wasted 2 pounds of butter and research before changing the method.

@Highpothesis5050 sorry it didn't work for you. I just made a batch last week that turned out great.

Have you ever made this with a sugar substitute? Wondering how that would affect temperature and or cook time.

[@catscratchkitchen]

I have not. I. Know that allulose will caramelize, so it would be a good sugar substitute. As far as timing, I'll have to look into it further.

[@ushaparthasarathy9062]

I am not sure it should be half a cup of sugar. All most all recipes call for equal amount of sugar and butter.

[@catscratchkitchen]

This is the recipe I always use.

@@catscratchkitchen thank you, I shall try it, less sugar is better anyway.
