Making Almond Roca
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?

Substitute for Tomatoes
I have found out that I am allergic to tomatoes and I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions for something I could substitute them with. I like to eat lasagna, pizza and nachos but am no longer able to eat them with tomatoes.

Popcorn Balls
A few years back someone brought popcorn balls to a party. They said they were so easy to make. I am thinking they used Marshmallow cream. Has anyone got an easy recipe for pop corn balls?
