🍫 Chocolate Covered Rocha Recipe 🍫
Total Time: 4 hours and 40 minutes
Prep Time: 4 hours
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Servings: Depends on your sweet tooth!
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of margarine
- 1/3 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 3/4 cups of light corn syrup
- Chocolate pieces (enough to cover the candy)
- 1 cup of your favorite nuts (chopped)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pan: Start by lining a 15x10x1 inch baking sheet with foil, ensuring that the foil extends over the edges for easy removal later. Set the pan aside for now.
-
Melt and Mix: In a heavy 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once melted, stir in the sugar, water, and light corn syrup until well combined. Make sure the sugar is completely dissolved, and be careful to avoid splashing the mixture on the sides of the pan.
-
Boil and Stir: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring continuously. Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pan to monitor the temperature. Cook the mixture until the thermometer reaches 290 degrees Fahrenheit, which should take around 15 minutes. It should boil steadily throughout the surface.
-
Chocolate Time: Once the mixture reaches the desired temperature, remove it from the heat and carefully remove the candy thermometer. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Let it cool for about 5 minutes or until the top is set.
-
Chocolate Coating: Sprinkle the chocolate pieces over the top of the candy. Allow them to sit for about 2 minutes to soften, then spread the chocolate evenly over the candy using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
-
Nutty Goodness: Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the chocolate, gently pressing them into the surface. This will ensure they stick well to the chocolate coating.
-
Let it Set: Allow the candy to cool for several hours until completely set. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
-
Break and Store: Once set, lift the candy out of the pan using the foil edges. Break it into desired pieces and store them in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. These heavenly treats can last for up to 2 weeks, although they’re so delicious, they’re unlikely to stick around for that long!
