Christmas Treat


My favorite Holiday Treat!
Moch Almond Roca:
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Cup Butter
12 oz. Pkg. Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Sliced Almonds
Vegetable Oil
Saltine Crackers
1. Preheat Oven to 350.
2. Line jellyroll pan with aluminum foil and rub with vegetable oil.
3. Arrange Saltine crackers in a single layer.
4. Bring brown sugar and butter to Boil stirring continuously. Boil for 2 and 1/2 minutes, still stirring continuously.
5. Pour over Saltines.
6. Bake at 350 for 5 minutes or until crackers float
7. Take out of oven. Sprinkle with chocolate chips and gently spread with a butter knife as they melt to evenly cover.
8. Sprinkle almonds on top.
9. Refrigerate. (or set out on cold porch)
10. When partially hardened, score sections.
11. When completely hardened cut and serve.
It is a bit of a sensitive recipe. Something you may discover when the toffee is too chewy or too grainy. Make sure the brown sugar and butter mixture are at a rolling boil for the full two and a half minutes. And yes, the perfect Christmas treat. Just throw in a big cold glass of milk. yum...
