Rah Rocka Candy
- 2 cups Butter (4 Sticks)
- 1 pound Superfine Sugar, Box Or Package
- 2 cups Almonds, Slivered, Lightly Toasted
- 8 ounces, weight Milk Chocolate Bar, Broken Into Squares
- 1/2 cups Pecans, Very Finely Chopped
- *Superfine sugar used to come in small boxes. If you can no longer find it, you can make your own superfine sugar by running granulated sugar in a food processor or blender until powdery. After you turn it off, let the powder settle for a minute before you open the food processor, or else you'll be snorting sugar dust.
- **To toast nuts, spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in a 350u0b0 oven, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. Or, toast in an ungreased skillet over medium heat, stirring, until light golden brown and aromatic
- Combine the butter and sugar in a heavy 3 quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes or until the mixture loses its bright yellowy color. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the almonds. Cook for 20 minutes or until the almonds are light brown and the mixture is a rich tan color. Stir constantly.
- Spread evenly in a greased 10 x 15 inch pan. Let stand for 15 minutes or until a hard film forms on the candy.
- Place the chocolate squares over the surface of the candy. Let stand until the chocolate softens and spread over the top using the back of the wooden spoon.
- Sprinkle with pecans.
