Detroit has General Motors. Our neighbors to the north have Boeing. We Tacoma-ites have Brown & Haley, manufacturers of that heavenly canister of candy known as Almond Roca. And now, they’ve sweetened the deal with a new offering: Roca Buttercrunch Thins. These candy sticks come in four chocolate flavors: milk chocolate butter toffee, dark chocolate butter toffee, milk chocolate caramel and dark chocolate truffle. Brown & Haley CEO Pierson Clair (quoted in the Tacoma News-Tribune) says, “when you bite into a thin you taste the coating of chocolate and then the buttercrunch just squishes in your mouth for a pop of butter flavor.” Those are the words of a corporate chief who loves his job. (He should – he’s been at it for 41 years.) Take a good, mouthwatering look at the new confection here.
