Chocolate Covered Rocha Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups butter or 2 cups margarine
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
- 1 3/4 cups milk chocolate pieces
- 1 cup toasted nuts
Instructions
- Line a 15x10x1 inch baking sheet with foil, extending the foil over the edges for easy removal. Set the pan aside.
- Melt 2 cups of butter in a heavy 3-quart saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir in 2 cups of sugar, 1/3 cup of water, and 2 teaspoons of light corn syrup.
- Cook over medium-high heat until boiling, stirring until the sugar dissolves and avoiding splashes on the sides.
- Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan and continue cooking over medium heat, stirring often, until the thermometer reads 290 degrees, which should take about 15 minutes. The mixture should boil at a steady rate over the entire surface.
- Remove from heat and take out the thermometer.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minutes or until the top is set.
- Sprinkle 1 3/4 cups of milk chocolate pieces over the top and let it set for 2 minutes.
- Spread the melted chocolate over the candy evenly, then sprinkle with 1 cup of toasted nuts, pressing them gently into the chocolate.
- Cool for several hours to set completely.
- Once set, lift the candy out of the pan using the foil edges and break it into pieces.
- Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
