1 C. Sugar
2 T. Karo syrup
1 C. Butter (2 sticks)
2 T. Water
chopped nuts
chocolate chips
Recipe
Mix the sugar, butter, karo and water in a heavy saucepan.
Cook, stirring gently all the time until it changes color and is a very light brown and is "brittle" when tested in cold water. (also known as the "hardcrack" stage)
Have a thin layer of chopped nuts in bottom of a 9x13" pan.
Pour the hot mixture carefully over the nuts.
Next, sprinkle chocolate chips (about 1 cup) over the hot mixture and let melt. When melted-spread evenly. Then I like to sprinkle the top with finely chopped/ground nuts before the chocolate sets up.
Let cool and break into pieces. Store in a tightly sealed container.
