Almond Roca is the original butter-crunch toffee available since 1923. These small bars are made of almond toffee topped with chocolate and bits of almond.

 

Almond Roca is a brand of chocolate toffee butter crunch candy containing a ground almond coating and also almond chunks inside the candy itself. It is made by the Brown & Haley Co. of Tacoma, Washington.

 

Almond Roca was invented in 1923 by Harry Brown and J. C. Haley, founders of Brown & Haley. The candy's name is said to have been inspired by a local librarian, who chose the Spanish word "roca", meaning "rock" in English, to describe the hard, log-shaped confection.

 

Brown & Haley first used Almond Roca's trademark tin can containers in 1927 to extend the product's shelf life. Individual pieces of Almond Roca candy are wrapped in gold-colored aluminum foil.
