I just made this recipe and it turned out great. It's from the Best of Bridge cook book and I have no idea why I haven't tried this before. I've never made any type of candy before this and I am more than pleased with the results.
Here is a copy of the recipe.
Shortcut Almond Roca
1 tbsp corn syrup
1 1/4 Cups White Sugar
1 Cup butter
1/4 Cup water
1 1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
3/4 cup chocolate chips
in a large heavy saucepan, gently boil syrup, sugar, butter and water until "hard crack" appears on candy thermometer, 300F. Do not stir. This step takes at least 20 minutes.
Remove from heat, add almonds and stir well.
Spread on an ungreased cookie sheet and, before candy is allowed to cool, sprinkle with chocolate chips. As they melt, spread the chocolate chips evenly over the candy.
Cool in refrigerator or freezer. Break into bite size pieces.
*this recipe does not double well.
