Christmas Toffee

1 cup butter  (only use butter)

1 1/8 cups sugar (= 1 cup + 2 Tbsp.)

dash salt

1 1/2 cups roasted and chopped almonds or pecans

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

Butter cookie sheet and sprinkle with half of the chopped nuts.

Melt butter partially in a heavy saucepan. Add sugar and salt.  Cook on HIGH heat while stirring constantly. Continue until mixture is the color of a brown paper sack or coffee with cream. Immediately pour the mixture over the nuts. Sprinkle with chocolate cups. After about 3 minutes spread chocolate with a knife and then sprinkle with nuts. It will need a day or so to completely set up. Best if stored in cool room. Break apart with the tip of a butter knife.
