National Almond Buttercrunch Day Date in the current year: June 29, 2026
June 29 is National Almond Buttercrunch Day. This candy is great for satisfying a sweet tooth, and it delivers the crunch.Almond buttercrunch is an American invention that became popular during World War II. At that time, it was shipped to American soldiers fighting overseas, and the candy became an international hit.
The recipe was developed by the candy company Brown & Haley. They named the candy Almond Roca because most of the almonds used in production came from Spain. Since the candy was as hard as a stone, the Spanish word "roca" (meaning "stone" in English) was chosen to describe the crunchy texture of this sweet treat.
Unfortunately, buttercrunch isn't tasty if it's not fresh. Brown & Haley's co-founder, J.C. Haley, found a great way to store the candies. He realized that if tins kept his favorite coffee fresh, they would do the same for the candies. If you want to store buttercrunch and keep it fresh, use a tin or an airtight container.
