Category:     Dessert

Description:
My mother used to make Christmas candy every year, the very best. Since trying Father Tiresias'D'Adamo's eating plan, I miss not being able to use cream and corn syrup in making candy at Christmas. Here is one recipe I found on the Internet. I do not add the almonds as I used to beg my mother to make a batch of toffee without nuts. Here is the recipe I downloaded from the Internet.


General applicability:

Almond Roca
Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.
Orange: contains an avoid in a primary ingredient.



Ingredient list:
  • 1 pound butter (or ghee)
  • 3 cups sugar [or 1 1/2 cups agave or rice syrup]
  • almonds or walnuts if desired
  • melted chocolate to frost roca if desired


How to make it:
  • Cook and stir in heavy skillet until 300 degrees on candy thermometer.
  • [Follow manufacture recommendations for sugar substitution]
  • Pour quickly into large buttered jelly roll pan or 3 (9'x9') pans.
  • Sprinkle with nuts while hot or quickly stir nuts into mixture before pouring into pans.
  • When cool, cut or break into pieces.
  • For Almond roca:
  • Spread above mixture into buttered pans and spread with melted chocolate bars and sprinkle with chopped almonds.

    Note

    I searched everywhere for chocolate and carob chips without 'avoid' ingredients. I found no carob chips products without 'avoid' ingredients. Finally, I discovered that Trader Joe's carries semi-sweet chocolate chips - and none of its ingredients are avoids. They also carry two chocolate bars that do not contain avoids. It made a great frosting for my roca.
