Christmas Almond Rocca
1 lb Butter
2 1/2 cup Sugar
1 1/2 cup Whole raw unblanched almonds
1 1/2 cup Chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup 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.

As an alternative to dwelling on the junk foods that you ought to remove from your diet, look at the recommended foods that you should introduce to your weight loss program. If one can bring in some beneficial grains, fruit and vegetables into your daily routine, you will discover that you feel more full and have a significantl;y decreased risk of being tempted by those detrimental mid-morning candies.
