I think my mom's favorite Christmas candy would have to be Almond Roca. It would always make an appearance at our house around the holidays, and I remember finding a tin of them stashed in the closet one time. Yes, this is when I learned that parents don't always share everything! But I can't blame her, they're just that delicious! These days, I make my own, and you can too with this easy recipe that tastes identical to the original. Buttery toffee, melted chocolate, and crunchy almonds, a homemade candy that's perfect for holiday gifting or snacking on in your closet.
