This crazy easy White Chocolate Almond Roca recipe is just 5 simple ingredients and is seriously so addictive!
Can we just agree that the Holidays are the BEST time of the year?!
Giving, sharing, singing, praising, cookies, candies… It’s no wonder everyone is in good spirits. Especially when all you need are 5 simple ingredients to make the most amazing white chocolate covered almond toffee!
I wanted to take step by step pictures for you just to show you how easy it is to make your own candy, so here goes…
Start by melting some Challenge Butter (the quality of the butter does make a difference), sugar and vanilla in a small saucepan.
Once it starts to bubble you’ll want to whisk it constantly until it starts to turn a nice shade of brown.
You’re looking for the color to match the skin of an almond.
Because I know there are some of you out there who want precise measurements… I also used my candy thermometer! So once it reaches 285 degrees F, you’ll want to pour it in a foil lined pan that’s been covered with crushed almonds.
Next just sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the top of the piping hot toffee. Let the chocolates sit for a second and….
Tada! The chocolates are easy spreadable and you don’t have to get another bowl dirty to melt them. This method also helps the chocolate to stick to the toffee.
Finally, sprinkle the top with some more crushed almonds!
Now the hard part… waiting for it to cool.
**While it’s cooling, I wanted to take a minute and let you know about a project I am partnering with Challenge Butter on again this year. It’s Challenge’s “Pin a Meal, Feed a Child” campaign. They’ve partnered up with UNICEF once again to address the childhood malnutrition crisis. Challenge has pledged to provide UNICEF with up to 75,000 meals for malnourished children. And this is where you come in! All you have to do to help is PIN this recipe from THIS PINTEREST BOARD. Each repin on that board will count as a meal. That’s it! So easy!
If you’d like to donate directly to UNICEF to help this cause, click here. OR, click HERE to give through a pin.
All that’s left to do now is enjoy a little (or a lot) of this easy homemade toffee!

Ohhh girl you are killing me! I ADORE almond roca. Quite possibly my favorite “holiday” thing of all time. I need this in my life NOW!

Oh now this recipe isn’t fair it isn’t even giving the white chocolate DNA in me a fair chance to say no or even maybe. I am sure to put this on my I need an easy sweet treat recipe day. My guys would switch out the white for milk or dark chocolate but me on the other hand I love it. Now I know some will say it isn’t real chocolate – cocoa butter content and all but so what it is just plain yummy in my book. So call it what you will it will still taste great I bet.
Thanks,
Christine

Yep, I’m officially making this for the holidays! I love white chocolate more than any other type of chocolate (I know!) and this sounds amazing. So much better than buying it prepared!
