Toffee: Butter square pan, 9x9x2 inches. Spread
chopped nuts in pan.
Heat sugar and butter to boiling, stirring
constantly. Boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, 7 minutes (watch
it real close the last minute or two).
Immediately spread mixture
evenly over nuts in pan.
Sprinkle chocolate pieces over hot mixture;
place a baking sheet over
pan so contained heat will melt chocolate.
Spread melted chocolate over canndy. While hot, cut into 1 1/2 inch
squares. chill until firm.
Now for the changes we use. Melt another 1/2
cup of chocolate in the microwave. Use an 7x7x2 pan (or smaller than the
9x9x2).
Spread the melted chocolate on top of the buttered pan that is
covered
with the nuts.
After the chocolate is spread on top, sprinkle
more nuts on top, while
chocolate is still warm. Then cut into small
sizes. After the candy is set, remove from the pan and wrap individually
with desert foil.
