• While candy cooks, place a silpat on a jelly roll pan to contain the toffee and chop chocolate.
• Cook candy to 300 degrees, then pour the toffee onto the silpat. Smooth the toffee with a spatula and spread it to desired thickness.
• Give it a minute, then use a pizza wheel to score the toffee. Immediately top with chopped chocolate.
• Let residual heat from the toffee melt the chocolate. Use a new spatula to smooth the chocolate over toffee.
• Let the chocolate harden for an hour. To finish, lift one edge and gently break it along the score lines.

BEST TOFFEE EVER - SUPER EASY

Steps:

• In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, combine the butter, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted. Allow to come to a boil, and cook until the mixture becomes a dark amber color, and the temperature has reached 285 degrees F (137 degrees C). Stir occasionally.
• While the toffee is cooking, cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
• As soon as the toffee reaches the proper temperature, pour it out onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the chocolate over the top, and let it set for a minute or two to soften. Spread the chocolate into a thin even layer once it is melted. Sprinkle the nuts over the chocolate, and press in slightly. Putting a plastic bag over your hand will minimize the mess.
• Place the toffee in the refrigerator to chill until set. Break into pieces, and store in an airtight container.
