Steps:
- Place a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and lightly butter the parchment, set aside.
- If your almonds are not toasted I would toast them and chop them now, by placing them in a single layer on a large baking sheet and baking at 300F/149C for 10 minutes. You need all elements of the recipe ready to go otherwise you risk the candy not setting up properly. Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped.
- In a large bottomed heavy pot add the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract and cook over medium-low heat. Do not increase the heat, you want the butter and sugar to melt evenly, once the sugar has melted completely, and the mixture is evenly combined increase the heat to medium, not high.
- Using a whisk mix everything constantly. Depending on how large your pot is, this process will take anywhere from 5-15 minutes. The mixture will start to bubble and thicken up and slowly change color. Use an instant-read thermometer or candy thermometer to keep checking the temperature of the toffee. Once the temperature has reached 295F/ 146C take-off of the heat and whisk in the baking soda. Once the baking soda is fully combined add the toasted almonds. Pour toffee onto the prepared pan and use an angled spatula to spread it into an even layer.
- Immediately sprinkle the chopped chocolate evenly over the toffee, you could take a piece of foil and "tent" the baking tray to help the steam stay in and melt the chocolate or what I do is place the baking sheet in the oven and turn the oven on to preheat, while the oven is warming and blowing warm air that will melt the chocolate in less than 5 minutes. Use another angled spatula to spread the chocolate then sprinkle with finely chopped toasted almonds pieces.
- Let the Almond Roca set up for 1 - 2 Hours. You can put it in the fridge to speed up the process but I suggest letting it cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour to prevent the chocolate from blooming, and turning white, it will still taste good the chocolate will just end up with white streaks.
- Break into pieces and store in an air-tight container for up to a week.

This is a recipe that I adopted and it is a little different than I expected. The bottom layer isn't really a cookie but it also isn't quite candy. I couldn't cut it into bars so I ended up breaking it isn't pieces instead. They taste really good and were very popular at the party I took them to. If you want more of a cookie bottom, I'd take them out at about 20 minutes.

- Line a 9x13 inch cookie sheet (You can use a 9x13 cake pan too.) with waxed paper. Set aside.
- In a nonstick medium saucepan, mix together Land O Lakes® Butter, sugar, water and molasses. Bring mixture to a slow boil, stirring with a wooden or silicone spoon. Do not use a whisk, as overstirring will ruin the toffee and make it separate.
- Attach candy thermometer and continue cooking until the thermometer reaches 295° F, stirring often to prevent burning or sticking. Slow and steady will win this race. I kept my burner at medium-low heat, with a steady, slow boil, and it took me 20 minutes. If you try turning up the heat to speed it up, it will burn before it reaches the correct temperature.
- As soon as you reach 295° F, remove the pan from the heat and set it on a hot pad. Stir in 1 cup of the almonds. Pour toffee mixture onto prepared pan.

- Beat in flour. Spread in a 9x13 pan. (Wet your fingers if the dough sticks).Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes, or until it is set on the edges (and set in the middle, too, if you like them to be a little crispy).Sprinkle generously with chocolate chips immediately after baking.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes or so to let them melt (this is hard.)(Sometimes I cheat and stick it back in the still-warm oven, but if you do this only leave it in for about a minute or two, otherwise your chocolate will get all weird on you.)Spread the chips around when they have melted.Don't eat all at one time.
