How to Make Nut Rocca Candy
- Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with butter.
- Spread 1 cup of roasted almonds (or pecans) evenly across the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, and 1/4 cup unsalted butter. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat.
- **Caution:** The mixture will be hot! Avoid burning by stirring constantly for 7 minutes, until the mixture turns a light amber color and reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer).
- Immediately pour the hot sugar mixture evenly over the nuts in the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips evenly over the top.
- Cover the pan immediately to allow the heat to melt the chocolate chips. Let stand for 5-10 minutes.
- Gently spread the melted chocolate over the candy using a spatula.
- While still warm, cut the candy into 1 1/2-inch squares.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the candy to fully set and firm up before serving or packaging.
