Nut Rocca Candy

This is a great recipe! It's very easy too. I make mine with almonds, but I have tried pecans and it was equally good.I put pieces of the candy in mini muffin cup papers, go give for gifts. I hope you will try and enjoy! Times are guestimated, as I'm usually too busy to time things around the holidays!
