Almond Roca Candy with Honey

1/2-2/3  cups butter, or coconut oil*
1/2  cup honey
1 cup chopped organic almonds

Method:

1.  Butter or oil a cookie sheet first (important.)  Cook butter and honey over medium heat to ‘hard crack’ temp (300 degrees F).

2.  Add the almonds, stirring over heat for 1 minute.  Pour onto buttered cookie sheet. Refrigerate, to cool.

3.  Crack, by hitting with the back of a large spoon.  Use spatula to remove from sheet, then refrigerate the pieces.  Enjoy!

* If you can eat butter, it is best to use it for this recipe.  It will work with coconut oil but may be a little more sticky.
