1 c. chopped pecans or walnut
3 T. water
½ c. butter
1 c. sugar
½ c. margarine
½ c. sweet or milk chocolate, if desired
Line an 8 or 9 inch square pan w/foil; cover with chopped nuts. In a heavy two-quart saucepan, combine butter, margarine, water and sugar. Place over medium-high to high heat and stir constantly with a wooden spoon – mixture will foam. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture becomes a light tan color; do not let it get brown. Remove from heat & pour over nuts. Use back of wooden spoon to spread mixture smoothly over nuts. Cool at room temperature one hour; melt chocolate and spread over toffee if desired.
