English Toffee

Not yet tried, but I found it on allrecipes.  Will re-post with thoughts after trying.
     *Before beginning, butter a cookie sheet - or line with foil and spray.

• 1 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 2 T water
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds (or your preferred)
• 1 cup chocolate chips

First, melt butter.  Then add sugar and water and stir continually for 5 minutes.  Turn down heat, cook for 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.  Add almonds.  Place thermometer in pan, continue to stir ~ every 5 minutes.

When thermometer reaches 300˚, raise heat and stir continuously until reaching 312˚ and mix is rich caramel color.    (skip this part if 300˚ brings it to caramel color).  Remove from heat and quickly pour onto cookie sheet.  Heat chocolate chips in microwave for ~ 2 minutes, stirring once, at 1 minute.  Spread chocolate over caramel and top with nuts.  Cool completely and break into pieces
