1/2 lb. butter
1 c. white sugar
1 tbsp. water
1/4 c. chopped nuts, warmed
Chocolate, shaved bar or semi-sweet chips

Measure all ingredients and set aside. Line cookie sheet with foil. Over medium heat, melt butter and add sugar very slowly, stirring constantly until sugar turns tan; add nuts and turn mixture onto the lined cookie sheet. (The lighter the color of the mixture, the softer the candy will be.) While the candy is hot, spread chocolate over the top. When solid enough to handle, turn slab over and coat other side with chocolate while still warm. Cool, break into pieces.
