Did somebody say, "Toot?"

Last night was a challenge in the kitchen as it was raining, and no amount of burners turned on could reduce the humidity. I so look forward to having my own kitchen, instead of a rental.

It's really simple:

You'll need 1 pound of Salted Butter(Tillamook Brand or similar), 2 cups of Pure Cane Sugar, 1 cup of slivered almonds, 1 package of Nestle Chocolate Chips and a half cup of crushed walnuts. A good candy thermometer is required.

Melt butter over medium heat in a heavy sauce pan. Stir constantly. When all of the butter is melted slowly add sugar and continue to stir. When the temp gets to "Soft Ball" add the almonds to the mixture. Continue to stir at least often but not constantly. When the temp is about 10+ degrees above "hard crack" pour mix onto your least favorite cookie sheet...tilt and tip cookie sheet until mixture covers it evenly.

Wait 5 minutes.

Pour chocolate chips over the roca and then spread with a rubber spatula until all the chips are melted evenly. Sprinkle walnuts over the whole thing and wait 2 hours(do not put in fridge) for it to cool. Break apart and serve:)

Since you have not tasted mine I suppose I could get away with just buying you some;)

That's a chance I don't want to take.....the horror of finding out that truth may be too much.

:D ....maybe the next time I come down there around Christmas(I am hoping this will be next year) :)

SleppyJeff, cool!
