Utahna's English Toffee

1 cup butter

1 cup sugar

3 Tbsp water

1 cup toasted pecans broken in pieces - toast in 350 oven for 10 min. Or crushed, toasted almonds

1/4 cup milk chocolate chips

Place toasted pecans in 8X8 pyrex pan. Put butter, sugar and water in med. heavy sauce pan and cook on high. Break butter in small pieces in sauce pan. Stir w/wooden spoon throughout cooking time. Should appear fluffy at all times. Cook until it turns an amber color, starts to leave the sides of the pan and is slightly smoking. Take off heat and turn immediately over onto prepared nuts. The cooking time is short (7-8 min. w/gas and 10-11 min. w/electric). Let toffee cool 2-3 min. then sprinkle w/chocolate chips. When melted, swirl w/knife. Let chocolate dry - several hours. Turn over toffee on waxed paper and break into pieces.
