Ingredients
- 4 sticks butter
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 4 Tbsp light corn syrup
- 1 lb walnuts
- 2 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
Directions
- Grease jelly roll pan or half sheet pan then spread walnuts all over the pan. Set aside.
- In a large 6-quart pot over medium-high heat, combine butter, sugar, water, and corn syrup. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring often.
- Continue boiling and stirring until the candy mixture reaches 305 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
- Immediately pour candy mixture over nuts in the greased pan.
- Wait 2-3 minutes for the candy to set then sprinkle chocolate chips all over the top.
- Allow the chocolate chips to sit for at least 5 minutes until the chocolate starts to melt then swirl the chocolate with the back of a spoon until it completely covers the toffee.
- Allow the toffee to rest at room temperature for at least an hour until toffee is cooled and firm.
Notes
- Walnuts can be whole or chopped. I use whole walnuts.
- Pecans or other nuts may be substituted for the walnuts.
- Nuts can be omitted if desired.
- Sprinkle additional chopped nuts on top of the chocolate if desired.
