ENGLISH TOFFEE 
1 c. butter
1 1/3 c. sugar
1 tbsp. light corn syrup
1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. chopped nuts

Combine butter, sugar, corn syrup, and water in deep 2 quart measuring cup. Microwave on high, uncovered, 4 minutes. Stir.

Microwave high, uncovered, 6-8 minutes or until about 300 degrees is reached, stirring and checking temperature during last few minutes. Stir in vanilla.

Pour into ungreased 9 x 13 inch pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Let stand until chips are softened; spread evenly over toffee. Sprinkle with nuts, pressing them into chocolate. Refrigerate to set chocolate. When cool, turn out of pan and break into pieces.

Tip: This candy should be kept in a cool place or refrigerate. The chocolate has a tendency to soften.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
