Almond roca bars
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! So much for baking without sampling! I just made these bars for church and they are Hoops & YoYo delicious!!
1 cup brown sugar – I do love a leveled measuring cup!
1 cup butter – softened
1 egg yolk – I’m pretty proud of this picture
2 cups flour- Nothing better than Christmas music while you bake using a red Kitchen-Aide!
1/2 t. salt
Can you tell I have been traumatized by stubborn baked goods that won’t come out of the pan one too many times? Baking spray is my new best friend even when recipes don’t call for it!
Press mixture into 11 x 15-inch cookie sheet – Peanut butter jelly spread out, peanut butter jelly spreeeeaaad out… funny and a little embarrassing, the things that go through your head while bakin’.
20 oz. semi-sweet chocolate – Semi-sweet chocolate always makes me 100% happy!
1/2 cup sliced or slivered almonds – or if you find that you have a little of each, you mix them together like I did. 
Bake for about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Bake until light golden Be sure not to over bake – Wow, not sure what angle I was at when I took this pic!
Melt chocolate & gently spread over baked dough.
Sprinkle with almonds. Cut into bars while still warm. - Go nuts! Seriously worthy calories right here!
Stunning, really, don’t you think? Happy baking!

Almond Roca is my FAVORITE!! These sound incredible!!
Hey Deanna, these look yummy! The girls and I are planning to make them today, but not sure what temp to bake at. Is it 350? Thanks!
Cindy, these ARE incredible! But I must warn you, you are going to use prevention skills ad loose 10 pounds before you make them because you’ll gain 10 when you make them. They’re the kind of cookie that you can’t stop eating once you start!
Tina, I got your note on another post that you liked these. So glad! Thank you for catching the oven temp being missing. I’ve added it for everyone now.
