Christmas Candy Recipes - Toffee

My dentist loved that I loved these candies.

1 cup chopped pecans (cashews work, too)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Grease an 9-inch square pan.  Heat sugar and butter to boiling in 1qt saucepan, stirring constantly.  Boil over medium heat, stirring constantly for 7 minutes (your biceps will love you).  Spread mixture in pan.  Sprinkle chocolate chips over hot mixture and place a cookie sheet over the pan (to help hold in heat) until the chips are melted.  Spread out the chocolate so it covers the candy.  While still melty, sprinkle the nuts over the top.  Cut into squares while still warm.  Refrigerate until firm.
