* 1 pound butter
* 1 pound sugar
* nuts
Melt butter. Add sugar and cook until the mixture turns to light brown. It will turn yellow first. Be patient. When it gets to the hard crack stage [300° to 310°], pour into a buttered pan. Add walnuts, or any nuts.
Our favorites are macademias! Butter waxed paper and place on cookie sheets. Pour mixture onto the waxed paper and let harden and then crack into pieces.
This is truly wonderful! Peanuts or walnuts work just as well, or any of your favorites - cashews are fantastic.

Place an unopened can of condensed milk in a pot of water. Bring to boil and simmer for approx 3 - 4 hours. Leave to cool and when you open the tin it will have turned to a yummy toffee

1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 (4 1/2 oz.) bar milk chocolate candy; broken into pieces, or 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
Butter square pan, 9x9x2". Spread pecans in pan. Heat sugar and butter to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, 7 minutes. Immediately spread mixture evenly over nuts in pan.
Sprinkle chocolate pieces over hot mixture; place baking sheet over pan so contained heat will melt chocolate. Spread melted chocolate over candy. While hot, cut into 1 1/2" squares. Chill until firm.
