I am a vendor at Farmer's Market in Los Angeles, CA. I made this for my customers and they just loved it. Simple and very easy to make thanks for posting.

Really good, makes a lot. This is to add to xmas candy gifts and I'm sure it will be appreciated. Anytime I make a recipe with a sugar-butter mixture like this I always think--NOT a recipe for kids to make, a potentially dangerous one and pay attention while you are doing it.

Wow! This recipe is absolutely delicious. My bf and I couldn't get enough of these. The only change I made was that I cooked it to 300 degree so it would reach hard crack stage. It turned out beautifullu. Thanks soooo much for this yumma-licious recipe. Almond Roca is my fave!!!
