This is an easy toffee recipe and technique for the microwave. I have added my notes to it. It's much easier than standing over a hot stove and stirring. I make it every Christmas because it's fast and good. Cheryl
1 c butter
1 1/3 c sugar
1 T light corn syrup
2 T water
1 1/2 t vanilla
1/2 c chocolate chips
1/2 c finely chopped walnuts
In 2-qt. glass container (I use a white Pyrex 3 qt. casserole), combine butter, sugar, corn syrup and water. Microwave on high for 13 minutes, stirring 3 times and cook to 300 degrees. Watch carefully, it may take just a little less.
Blend with vanilla (use wire whisk as mixture has a tendency to separate but just keep stirring; it finally blends).
Pour into 13x9 inch or 12x8 inch pan. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. After 2 minutes, spread evenly. Sprinkle with nuts, pressing into chocolate. Chill until cool. Break into uneven pieces to serve. Makes about 1 pound.
