Almond Roca comes to you with a history as flavorful as its fresh almonds, and as rich as its buttercrunch toffee. It all started back in 1923 in Tacoma, Washington. Harry Brown developed a recipe for the crunchy log-shaped candy destined to become a worldwide favorite. J.C. Haley wanted an unusual name to go with the new almond confection they had invented. A local librarian suggested "roca", and Almond Roca buttercrunch toffee was born. In Spanish, the word "roca" means "rock", which seemed appropriate given the crunchy center.
