When I make almond roca the sugar and butter mixture sometimes separates. The result is a greasy, not as hard or as tasty, product. Even when I make it on dry days this will happen. What am I doing wrong?
I have a problem with getting the chocolate to stick to the roca, any suggestions?
Thanks, Carole

My daughter...who makes excellent Almond Roca and sometimes has your problem... says to add two tablespoons of water, to the mixture and reheat the mixture...

I learned a lot from Alton Brown's show on Fudge, 2004. I heard that any drop of water in the pot can make the sugar crystals gather again or even if you jar the pan. I know he was making something diff. but I know water for candy making, including chocolate can be the end of your fun! Maybe that is it? Either way, kudos for making your own Almond Roca anyway! I LOVE that stuff!!!
