Almond Rocha Candy

“The first time I ate this candy I knew I would want it to be a Christmas tradition. I was in high school, when Dar, my sister-in-law, brought it over to my parents house on Christmas. Originally it had chopped almonds in the candy as well but I modified it because I don’t like it as well with the almonds in it.” – Mama J
