English Toffee

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/4 tsp salt
toasted nuts
chocolate
Butter a cookie sheet and put toasted nuts all over it. Add first four ingredients to heavy bottomed sauce pan and stir over medium high heat with a wooden spoon until the whole slurry turns the color of peanut butter and starts to smoke. Pour the goo over the nuts on the cookie sheet. Scatter chocolate pieces over it and spread them around as they began to melt. Cool it out in the snow for 15 minutes or so. Whack the cookie sheet on the counter to break the candy into jagged pieces. Eat them. Yum!
