TOFFEE 
1 c. chopped pecans, walnuts or almonds
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
1/2 pkg. (3 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips (butterscotch can be substituted)

Butter 8 x 8 inch pan. Spread nuts in pan. Heat sugar and butter to boiling, stirring constantly. Over medium heat, stir constantly exactly 7 minutes (burns easily). Immediately spread mixture over nuts in pan. Sprinkle cocoa pieces over hot mixture. Place baking sheet over pan as a lid so heat from mixture will melt chips. Spread melted chips over candy while hot (optional additional nuts can be sprinkled over cocoa). Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares. Chill.
