Walnut Toffee

This recipe also came from my gma.  She made this every Christmas (along with at least a dozen other fun treats stored in tins in the garage for easy snitching!)...but shhhhhh...we don't want to tell her that is how the tins emptied so fast!!

1 c butter                                         3 Tbs water
1 c sugar                                          1 1/2 c chopped walnuts (or pecans if you like them better)
1 Tbs cornsyrup                               1 (6oz) pgk chocolate chips (melted)

Butter a 9" square pan. 
Melt butter in 2 qt saucepan.  Stir in sugar gradually.
Add syrup & water; cook over med heat, stirring occassionally to 290 degrees on a candy thermometer
Add 1 c nuts, cook 3 minutes more, stirring constantly.
Pour into prepared pan.
When cool & hardened, pour 1/2 melted chocolate on top, toss in the fridge to harden, then flip out of pan, coating the opposite side with the remaining chocolate, sprinkling the remaining nuts on the wet chocolate.
Cool till all is hardened, then ENJOY!!
