1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup (I use Karo)
1/3 cup water or rum (good either way)
2 sticks butter cut in small peices and kept cold until ready to use
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
10 oz chopped nuts (optional, but very good with pecans)
8 oz chocolate (I use chocolate chips)

combine Sugar, Syrup and water/rum in a small deep sauce pan and cook over med. boil until large bubbles are breaking over the surface.

Then cover with a piece of tin foil and let cook for 5 mins.

Then add butter a couple of peices at a time and continue boiling to 300 degrees. (stir continually)

remove from heat and add baking soda and salt.

stir in nuts.

spead on a small cookie sheet lined with reynolds release foil.

sprinkle chocolate chips and let set for about 3 mins, then I spread the chocolate chips as they have melted.

When completely cool, remove from pan and bang it on the counter to break into peices.

I know this sounds like alot but it really is simple to make and takes about 20-25 mins.

Hope you give this a try,
