How to Make Almond Roca
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, brown sugar, and corn syrup. Stir constantly until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for exactly 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- Quickly stir in the almonds and chopped toffee bits until evenly combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto a buttered baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Work quickly as the mixture will begin to set.
- Let cool completely, about 30-45 minutes.
- Once cooled, break the candy into irregular pieces.
- Optional: Drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over the cooled candy for an extra touch of decadence.
