Crunchy Butter Toffee - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 c. water
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
2 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 c. walnuts

Preparation

Combine sugar, salt, water and butter.
Cook to light crack stage (285\u00b0).
Test by adding a few drops to water; they will form a pliable ribbon.
Add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
Pour onto a well-greased cookie sheet.
Cool.
Melt semi-sweet chocolate. Spread half on top; sprinkle with 1/2 cup walnuts.
Cool.
Turn and repeat with remaining chocolate and nuts.
When chocolate has cooled, break toffee into pieces with a small household hammer. Will yield about 2 dozen pieces.
