✨Happy Holidays, Matt!🎄✨ After 3 years of using this recipe, I'm finally leaving a comment! 🤣 I first made this Roca back in 2020; I made 2 batches to share with family & friends. It was so well received that I ended up making 5 batches in 2021 for family, friends and close customers at my workplace! I even mailed a half batch to Nevada from my home in California ☺️ It arrived in perfect condition! This Almond Roca has become a tradition for me and my family. It brings so much joy to everyone I share it with. Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! ❤️

Does the butter nead to be clarified? What if the butter starts to burn?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi Rylan, no the butter isn't clarified and check your heat it shouldn't be burning at all.

[@KimikaSingh-zh5jf]

Can we use another syrup

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

No, it needs to be corn syrup

[@syk9625]

Can we make without d corn syrup

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

No, you need the corn syrup.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Thank you so much! :) :)

[@auhdie]

omg i have to try this! but question, did you use a candy thermometer or just a regular one? idk if theres a difference

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

There is definitely a difference don't use a regular thermometer that you would put in your mouth to check your temperature. Definitely use a Candy thermometer or a meat thermometer. :)

Hello! :)

[@debbiepowers4743]

Hi Matt, thanks for the great recipe! I have a question. your candy requires only 290° to be completed whereas the normal almond Roca candy recipe requires the temperature to be 300 and above. Is your candy softer than normal almond Roca?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi Debbie, no it is hard, 290 to 300 F is considered the hard crack stage. Don't go above that.

[@debbiepowers4743]

@@inthekitchenwithmattthanks for the quick response! I just subscribed. Look forward to using your recipes. BTW I love that yellow cast-iron pan you’re using to cook the recipe, I’m jealous. Perfect size.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@debbiepowers4743 You are very welcome! Yeah I love that Dutch Oven. I use it all the time.

[@kathyc7158]

Matt would you suggest dark chocolate or milk chocolate for topper?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Either work great! I really like milk chocolate, so I regularly use that, but dark chocolate tastes great too. :) Or even semi-sweet.

[@kathyc7158]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt thank you!!!

What would be the shelf life of almond roca chocolates

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

If stored in an airtight container they will last a few weeks.

[@chocogracehandmadechocolat4024]

Thanks

[@chocogracehandmadechocolat4024]

It should be stored in fridge or at room temperature

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@chocogracehandmadechocolat4024 Either is fine. :) It will last a little longer in the fridge. If your home is pretty warm room temperature, probably better to store in the fridge.

Could u half this and it still turn out

Sure! :)

[@rashbabe3338]

Nice one chef and I know it will taste great but chef am confuse with the grams I know 1 cup of butter in grams is 226

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yup and this takes one pound of butter which is 2 cups. :) Or 450 to 454 grams.

[@rashbabe3338]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt Yh chef thanks I got it 225+225=450 thanks

[@davidderminer544]

I had no idea what almond roca was ! Not gonna try this one until I am outta the wheelchair.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

It is so good David! :) But yes unfortunately this one would be a bit harder with the wheelchair, unless you had a hot plate or something that you could use at the table.

[@cashman135d9]

Can you show how to make chess cake or cookie cake

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

hahaha, I will put it on my list, and see what I can come up with.

He brought these over for Christmas and they’re SO GOOD!!! They’re already all gone😩

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

hehehe I will make them again sometime and bring them over. hahahaha

[@terelopez3636]

Matt or your slivered almonds toasted or not

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hi Tere! No they aren't toasted, but you can easily toast them if you want. And the other chopped almonds that get sprinkled on top.

[@MidnightWarrior1976]

I watched 3 other recipes. None greased the baking sheet. Can you comment?

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

I grease it with butter. So it comes out easier and adds a little flavor to the bottom. Try it both ways and see what works the best for you. I have been making this for over 30 years and it is the way I do it.

[@gloriajjackson4195]

I will.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Awesome!

[@price-singspuccini6124]

I like to spread mine out on the thin side for those with dentures, weak teeth and for kids..

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Yeah, you can spread them as thin as you like. :)

Just made this and spread it thin. Used your recipe but added a pinch of baking soda and a teaspoon of vanilla : )

Thank you so much Gloria! :) :) Let me know how it goes and if you run into any issues. :)

[@dedriepyatte5784]

WELL, I tried it, and it came out gritty, tasted wonderful but had to toss it.

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

Hello Dedrie, the main reason toffee/almond roca turns out gritty/grainy is sugar crystals that develop on the side of the pan. Those need to be brushed down with hot water and a basting brush.

[@lindagale5584]

@@inthekitchenwithmatt an even more simple way to handle crystals is to take your first stick of butter and thoroughly butter the sides of your pan up to 1 inch from the top, then as you cook, the sugar naturally glides back down into the bubbly mix that is cooking. And voila!

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

@@lindagale5584 Great tip!

[@Kairahah]

My mom saw how much butter i put in and said i was going to become a PIG

[@inthekitchenwithmatt]

hahahaha, just eat a few pieces when it is done. It stores very well. :)
