Christmas Almond Rocca candies 1 pound Butter 2 1/2 cups Sugar 1 1/2 cups Whole raw unblanched almonds 1 1/2 cups Chocolate chips 1 1/2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips 1 1/2 cups Raw walnuts; finely chopped Melt butter and sugar in large, heavy saucepan over high heat, stirring until mixture foams vigorously. Reduce heat to low and stir 5 minutes. Increase heat to high and add almonds, stirring until nuts begin to pop, about 5 minutes, then reduce heat. Continue to cook 7 minutes. Candy should caramelize slowly to medium-brown color. If candy darkens too quickly, remove from heat but continue to stir 7 minutes. Pour candy into 15- by 10-inch jellyroll pan. Let cool. Melt chocolate chips in top of double boiler over simmering water. Spread half of chocolate over candy, then sprinkle with 3/4 cup chopped walnuts. Cool, then flip candy over. Coat other side with remaining chocolate and sprinkle with remaining nuts. Break into pieces when cool. Store in airtight container. Yields 1 1/2 pounds, about 60 pieces.
