English Toffee

This is a fairly simple recipe for what taste a lot like a Heath Bar.  It comes from Joyce McCullough who brought it to share one Christmas eve.  After I demolished all that she had and asked for the recipe, she kindly shared it with me.

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 tsp white corn syrup
1 tbsp water
1 cup chopped english walnuts, chopped fine
1 6oz pkg milk chocolate chips

Melt butter, stir in sugar, corn syrup, and water.  Cook over medium heat until candy thermometer reads 290F.  This takes a long time and you must stir constantly.  Stir in walnuts and cook for 3 minutes more.  Pour on a cookie sheet thant has been sprayed with non-stick spray.  Let cool. Joyce wipes off the oil from the nuts with a paper towel and spoons up any left in the pan.  Melt chocolate chips and spread over the toffee.  After i has cooled, break up into bite size pieces.
