Recipe

• 1 melt the butter over medium heat in a large saucepan. stir in the sugar.

• 3 you can add the nuts now, or wait and sprinkle them on top of the chocolate.
• 4 carefully pour the hot toffee onto a large cookie sheet (a rimmed cookie sheet or you'll coat your counter with hot toffee) that's been lightly coated with cooking spray.
• 5 after a few minutes, when the toffee begins to set up but is still hot, sprinkle the chocolate chips on top.
• 6 once melted, spread out the chocolate to evenly coat the toffee. if you didn't already mix in the nuts, sprinkle them on top of the still warm chocolate -- or mix the nuts in and sprinkle them on top, knock yourself out.
• 7 once the toffee is completely cooled, you can break it up into bite size pieces.
