Toffee

1 c. Butter
1 c. White Sugar
1 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Melt sugar and butter over low heat while stirring. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently until the mixture turns the color of light caramel and it blends together smoothly. My Aunt Linda taught me a trick when she pulled out a bag of brown sugar and set it next to the stove. She said just look at the color of the brown sugar and when it matches the melting goo, it should be done. Pour it out onto a greased cookie sheet, and spread as thin as possible - work quickly! Sprinkle the chips over the toffee and they will quickly melt. Spread the chocolate around and toss the nuts over it. Let it cool completely, break it up, and store it away before a passer-by eats it up.

This is pretty simple, I only had one minor panic when I was melting the butter/sugar and it seemed to separate but as I kept stirring, it came together eventually. Phew.
