 Ingredients List

  • 1 cup butter. (room temperature will provide the best results)
  • 1 cup sugar.
  • pinch salt.
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts. pecans, walnuts, almonds”¦whatever.

 Directions

1. Cover the bottom of a 9 by 9 pan with aluminum foil. (To use a cookie sheet double the recipe.)

2. Combine the butter, sugar, and salt in a heavy saucepan. (don't use a cold saucepan...let it warm a bit)

3. Bring to a boil over medium heat”¦stirring constantly. (don't skip the stirring!) Bring it to a boil gently!

4. Cook until it darkens in color. (technically that is 285 degrees”¦we guess) (Update: My daughter wanted me to mention a trick to know if it's done...

5. If you drop some of the mixture into ice water, wait a bit for it to cool, and it hardens... it's done.)

6. When your butter and sugar mix gets to the right color pour into the pan.

7. Sprinkle the top with the chocolate chips.

8. Leave it for a minute or two so that it will soften. Spread all pretty-like.

9. Put the nuts on top. Push those nuts in a bit so they stick.
Pop that into the fridge until set.

10. (Tip, toffee doesn't like abrupt temperature changes. Also, if you are working on an uber humid day without air-conditioning...wait for a better day)
