Recipe Introduction
Makes 1 1/2 pounds of crisp toffee-like candy, not hard like brittle. *** Teri made this for Christmas 2001 - and it was absolutely delicious with me (GrammaC) begging for the recipe. She relates that it is an old family recipe, and it is one to be cherished!

1 1/4 c sugar
3/4 c butter (do not use margarine)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c water
1 1/2 c coarsely chopped walnuts
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/3 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 c finely chopped walnuts
Recipe
1. Butter or spray large cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. In 2 quart sauce pan heat butter, water, sugar, and salt to boiling over medium heat. Stir often. Set candy thermometer in place and continue cooking, stirring often until temperature reaches 290*F or thread stage.
2. Remove mixture from heat. Stir in walnuts and soda. Pour at once into pan. (Don't scrape as sides of pan may be sugary.) If desired, when slightly set, score candy into squares.
3. Sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips, when melted, spread evenly over candy. Sprinkle with finely chopped walnuts. When cool break into small pieces, or along score lines.
4. Store any candy that makes it that long in cardboard or other breathable box. If stored in a metal tin or in plastic candy will become sticky.
