LIVE - Copycat Almond Roca - Toffee recipes and tips and tricks

[@lalasimms6262]

I have a Toffee company and have made hundreds of batches of toffee over the years. I still use the same stainless steel pans and whisk every time. In the beginning, many years ago, I had separation. What I did changed my toffee forever and I never had separation again and it was so simple. I added another 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Instead of a quarter teaspoon, I use a 1/2 teaspoon and it worked.

[@maryjanegibson7743]

If crystals form on the sides, you can put the lid on the pan for a few moments and this will allow the steam to wash them down, or you can use a wet brush on the sides and the steam that forms will wash them down.

[@suegreen6141]

I'm sure the recipes are great BUT all the interruptions of "answering the questions" was very distracting and seriously detracted from the point of the video. Why can't the "questions" be answered at the end so that people who just want to see how something is done.......can have that. Then everyone wins.

[@carolbaer168]

I just used that instrument in your hand. I poured it in a cake pan . After it cooled, I flipped it over and, broke it at the same lines. I did this recipe in the microwave. 4 minutes on high, stir in butter and almonds, 4 more minutes in the microwave, then 3 minutes, then 2 minutes, done.

[@Monthlychore]

Good to see this tutorial though. I grew up in Asia and there we could always buy imported almond roca for about 20 bucks a kilo and it has been my favorite sweet since then. These years, I move to Europe and found out that I couldn’t get almond roca anywhere and on Amazon, it cost about 150 Euro and that’s about 180 USD for a kilo. That’s ridiculously expensive.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Yes it can be expensive, I like to make it myself because of that and the flavor! i am glad you enjoyed the video!

[@bellalhosain5858]

i .m tirat for your vedeo bla bla bla

[@farahfarrah4224]

So addicted to toffee & almond roca! This recipe was perfect, thank you!

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Thank you! I am so glad you liked it

[@jobaloney1334]

Thank you for your great tips

[@vickieneumeister9184]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. After waching your video i made toffee for the first time right. It turned out so good i made 3 batches. The tip about the thermometer and barometer helped. I live in idaho and always mess this up.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Wonderful! I am so happy it worked for you!

[@andrewavila5757]

First time watching your videos. And I enjoyed watching your video, I've always wanted to make almond roca and watching your video totally got me convinced to making this, this year

[@Ashleemariecakes]

That is so good to hear! I hope they turn out perfect:)

[@foleypam57]

Hi I'm Pamela from Pensacola,FL, I'm 69 and I still love making Christmas candy

[@renukatalreja8807]

Hey Ashlee. I’m from India. Your awesome. I tried these but still not perfect. First time the butter and sugar got separated. Another time I think it didn’t reach the toffee level and I just poured it over almonds. Third time it was thick slab. Yeah but ur video is of great help. I’ll try accordingly

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I am so glad it was helpful!! candies can be difficult but I am sure you will get it right soon

[@gritskennedy5007]

Should you have a pan can you have a bowl a plastic bowl or metal bowl and dunk it ?

[@sarawolfram6756]

I make it on the flat sheet every Christmas season (along with fudge, peanut butter fudge, divinity and peanut brittle :) but I’ve always wondered how one could make it almond Rocha style so thank you! Looks like way more work but totally want to give it a shot... gotta get me one of those molds! :) I always have a mini heart attack whenever I make candy esp my divinity heh but it’s oh so worth it :) both my grandmas specialized in divinity and fudge so I had to keep up the tradition :)

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Yes that is just like my family!! I think both of my sisters still make it flat with chocolate on top, Divinity is also a favorite!:)

[@jackharveycreations9033]

Thank you for sharing ..... Jack Harvey from Shelbyville Illinois ... candy looks awesome !!!

[@Ashleemariecakes]

You're welcome and thank you so much!!

[@venomking420]

What if you add baking soda to the toffee before it cools? Would it make it more like the texture of almond roca? Please explain. Thanks.

[@Weekendatthecottage]

WOW! These look absolutely fabulous - LOVE!

[@Ashleemariecakes]

thank you so much! we obviously love them!

[@gayemarianesfox2405]

how long does the toffee keep? It’s hard to line up making it in good weather with when you’ll need it.

[@tracifoskett4410]

Where did you buy your molds you are using.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I get most of my cooking tools on amazon www.amazon.com/shop/ashleemariecake

I love scotland! I have been looking into traveling there once the pandemic is over!

[@venomking420]

Hi Ashlee ! Joining you from here in my mother’s womb. Could use a little of your Almond Roca right now. Thanks.

[@elizabethbarron954]

Fontana,California Hi thanks for sharing

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I am so glad you enjoyed it!!

[@kaviishthakkar8344]

Hi ur video is very informative but can v make thin toffee sheet sandwiched between chocolate on both sides plz tell me how to do tat. How to make thinnest toffee sheet.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I would pour the candy layer into a baking sheet then after it was cooled pour a layer of chocolate on top, after that solidified you could flip it and put chocolate on the other side

[@cat9117]

Is it a hard or soft toffee??

[@brendagarcia9850]

How much corn syrup

[@Rosebud830]

This is the first time I watched you, and LOVED your Toffee recipe, Almond Roca version, etc. You are very beautiful and have a wonderful personality for teaching! I see you keep very busy on your live videos, I hope your other instruction videos are calmed down a bit? I will try watching again soon! Merry Christmas to you and Yours'...🎄🎁⛄

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Thank you so much! yes my normal videos are much shorter, the lives tend to run long

[@joanmcgilton5148]

If you don’t have melt chocolate on your microwave . Maybe defrost will melt chocolate I would try it but I can’t do things I used to because of medical reasons.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Yes there are many ways to melt chocolate. I am sorry to hear that I hope you feel better!

[@anuxoxo6017]

What an awesome video❣️Absolutely loved it. You’re so beautiful and talented. I’m going to try this recipe soon. Hope to get good results. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 Love & best wishes from Canada 🇨🇦

[@shabnaanwar7223]

Hi, wow! I love this😊. Can you show us how to make almond roca truffles please. I want to try making it.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Thank you so much! That sounds amazing, I'll add it to the list!

[@KC-zn4gt]

Since I am not melting the butter to measure in cups, how much is one cup of butter in ounces?

[@carolinepaquier8156]

OOO OOO PICK ME! PICK ME.........................................Eight! Whatdddiddid I win? : )))))))

[@Ashleemariecakes]

that is right!! eight oz in a cup

[@jcdbrw]

Two sticks of butter is one cup.

[@Sherrie_D]

For licorice try a spritz cookie press.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Ok, I will have to get one

[@karenmccann2396]

HELLO from Karen McCann in Marion, OH

[@larryd3093]

Would you do a sugar free version?

[@mangosgomexico6343]

What temperature?

[@Ashleemariecakes]

The full recipe and instructions are in the description box or you can find it on my blog

[@jeanburk9539]

I skipped ahead to 12:00, then 17:OO. I know how to do the basic caramel. Just wanted the rest of the procedure. Just do to just below hard crack, I take it. Then.....?

[@Ashleemariecakes]

The full recipe and instructions in the description box or you can find it on my blog

[@joanmcgilton5148]

Did you ever make licorice? I know not to many people like the taste of black licorice but I actually like it.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I haven't - still on my to make list!

[@midenlindsey5226]

Hello from Alabama

[@DBlocj]

Doesn't look like bedhead. I don't dress when I'm in the kitchen cooking like this. Looks great.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Haha thank you! I appreciate the support

[@lisajohns7169]

I agree Ash! Stainless steel is not your toffee friend! Well mine! LOL

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Haha yes, I have yet to find a person who thinks it is:)

[@sosoo1663]

Thank you for the video .. Are the Almond Roca greed the same taste toffee_ettes

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I have not had toffee ettes but almond roca is similar to many toffee based candies so i would imagine the taste is similar

[@irismcivor572]

greetings from Canada. How much corn syrup

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Wow Canada! I dont think I like snow enough to live there haha. The full recipe is in the description box or you can find it on my blog

[@richieapodaca4100]

happened to come across your toffee video...just love it.. you say your water boils 20 degrees lower at altitude 4450 ft....i live in Colorado Springs altitude 6,035ft my water boils at 206 degrees why a big difference

[@Ashleemariecakes]

that's one of the reasons it's so important to test. Altitude is important but so is the thermometer. I do the test every time I get a new thermometer and it's always a little different. according to professional sites, I shouldn't have to adjust by 20 degrees, but my own thermometer test is the most accurate.

[@richieapodaca4100]

@@Ashleemariecakes thank you..at my altitude my water boils at 205..what should my toffee be at for hard crack

[@tracifoskett4410]

Hello from Palermo ca. Love your personality. Love the hair. What ever color you want.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Aw thank you so much! I am glad you liked it

[@bikermama1959]

I love Almond Roca, too much! Could you make apple fritters, I couldn't see a video for it. P.S. You look great as a blonde!

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Thank you so much! I will have to add it to my list

[@gritskennedy5007]

Water boils at 212°F

[@oOcorridosOo]

These are my favorite lol

[@Ashleemariecakes]

mine to!

[@onekerri1]

The video is great, and you have a lovely personality. But, there's always a but huh? Anyway, why can't people just stay off social media long enough to cook something? What questions are so important that they cannot be answered later, such as in the comments section? Well, I'm off to try this wonderful recipe that you were kind enough to demonstrate for us.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Thank you, I am glad you enjoyed the video! and I'm not sure but I think the videos can be helpful especially for beginners:)

[@Lulu4Him]

It's nice to have friends but they should know their place and that's not in the vid. To me, that was really awkward to watch. Nevertheless, the Amond Roca looks better than store bought! No kidding I am making this right now. Thank you for the great vid.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Ok I'm sorry, I like my friends and family to feel included in my job! I am glad that you liked the recipe!

[@mt7427]

Have to make cinnamon rolls!

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I actually have a cinnamon roll recipe! ashleemarie.com/the-best-cinnamon-rolls-ever/

[@Monthlychore]

For Celsius person, a easy and neat 100, sorry to see the Fahrenheit person struggling with the boiling point of water.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

haha yes that is true, sometimes I wished we used Celsius for just that reason!

[@gritskennedy5007]

Double BOILER.....not a double broiler...a broiler is heat flames or element heated to very high temps to brown melt or char the surface if any food under that high heat very close to the food.

[@ChrisSmith-ph2dr]

you would look nice with a purple color in your hair

[@Ashleemariecakes]

i have had purple hair often!!! its my favorite!

[@trojanbearsdallas]

great cooking video but, yeah, a bit too much saying hi to followers and awkward friend appearances.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Ok I'm sorry, If you didn't like that part then you will have to watch some that weren't live because there is a lot less of that in there and more cooking

[@kimhorton7359]

wheres the recipe

[@Ashleemariecakes]

the full recipe is written in the description box to make it easy to copy and paste vs trying to write it all down. just click "show more"

[@yolandafonseca5900]

Hi as much as I would really love to love your videos I can't it's just too long too much talking too many answering of questions and it's just too dist want to get to the recipe make the recipe and move on this is taking way too long 46 minutes to make a small 15 minute recipe

[@dougg7719]

Couldn't watch. Too much talking.

[@rebeccafranks6641]

Hey Ashlee how are you

[@Ashleemariecakes]

good! how are you!

[@Harphoney]

Why do people have to deal with viewers online instead of concentrating on the recipe? Can you not answer questions afterwards? This is ridiculous!!! Click!

[@karilynn5547]

I actually learned a lot from the questions people were asking. Some were questions I’ve always had. But I also think that’s what these live events are for.

[@diananutt9282]

OMG. I feel like I came in on a private candy making party that I was not invited to! Too much chat! I’m out after the vegan butter. Didn’t learn anything. Really wanted to see the toffee making.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I'm sorry, It can be hard to show everything on a live and I don't edit out the down time. My normal videos are shorter, you would probably enjoy them more

[@alicekitchen298]

How about something for a baby shower cake.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

I will add it to my list!

[@user-fi8no1ne3j]

I have my own secret recipe. It is not for general public consumption. It is a special recipe I reserve for special occasions.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

That is a good idea, I'm sure it is delicious!

Ah sorry, slip of the tongue

[@lindapedigo5422]

I really liked this recipe and your personality. I will not, however, watch you again as I cannot stand it when you talk to fans while you work. Just me.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

thank you, sorry about talking to people, If you don't like that then watch my regular videos and not my lives:)

Nice video babe😘👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶👶

[@Ashleemariecakes]

Thank you!

[@lindaanthony5527]

OMG! PUT THE PHONE DOWN!!!!😡

[@PochoNieves]

46 minutes of blah blah blah just to do a few minutes of the actual candy recipe....

[@jeanburk9539]

Probably holding a live chat at the same time as making candy is a lost cause. Glad to hear about the molds. But I would probably make balls.

[@Ashleemariecakes]

The lives do tend to run long, I would suggest trying one of my normal videos they are much shorter:)

[@jobaloney1334]

Helped me alot because I am at high altitude and kept burning it

[@billopsahl8412]

If she spent more time cooking and less time talking it would be better. 45 minutes to do 20 minutes cooking. First and last time to watch

[@stephaniebray3983]

Licked your fingers and then continued touching food…..

[@celticone4677]

Why don’t you show the cooking process before the corn syrup addition. Your chatty Ashlee Marie just doesn’t do it for me. I actually find your routine very annoying.

[@celticone4677]

I am a person for less chat and more action when watching recipes on u-tube. No doubt your recipe is good, but I got bored listening to your chattiness prior to giving out your recipe. Sorry but I successfully tried another recipe instead of this one.

[@lindaanthony5527]

That's no adult in front of the camera! You need to spend more time with adults instead of your kids! You are losing your adult socializing skills!
