Butter Toffee - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb. butter
2 c. white sugar
7 Tbsp. water
2 (8 oz.) Hershey bars
2 c. ground or chopped nuts

Preparation

Melt butter, add sugar and water; cook, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer reaches 340\u00b0.
I use a large heavy aluminum pan and stir with a long handled rubber spatula.
Pour into a 13 x 9-inch pan or better yet a heavy aluminum pancake griddle.
Let cool a few minutes and then break the Hershey bars over top.
Let it melt a minute and spread over top.
Sprinkle with 2 cups ground or chopped nuts.
(I usually use pecans, however, cashews or whatever are delicious too.)
Press nuts down into chocolate a bit.
Let cool and cut by breaking pieces off.
